Typhoon Ketsana

We've been keeping an eye on Typhoon Ketsana since the devastation it caused in the Philippines, and it's landfall in Vietnam yesterday.  Although local news coverage is still patchy, and we're getting most of our information through the expat grapevine, the BBC is now reporting that 9 people have been killed in Cambodia's Kampong Thom province as the system tracks across the North of the country (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8281950.stm).  The storm appears to be dissipating as it moves inland and has now been downgraded to a tropical storm.  More alarming for those in the Philippines and Vietnam affected by flooding, landslides, building collapses and high winds is the development of a number of new weather systems out in the West Pacific Ocean.  The first of these, Typhoon Parma, is currently tracking towards the Philippines although there is apparently a good chance it will shift course Northwards.  I've found a useful site called Hurricane Zone for keeping an eye on storms as they develop which aggregates information and images from a number of official sources: http://www.hurricanezone.net/
