Image by rembcc on FlickrThere is a saying that bad things come in threes; and unfortunately, at least with regards to Tropical Typhoons in the Republic of the Philippines - this looks to be the case.
The Philippines is still recovering from the loss and devastation that Tropical Storm “Ondoy” (international codename: Ketsana), which triggered the worst flooding in Manila in over 40 years, and Super Typhoon “Pepeng” (international codename: Parma) wrought on the pacific archipelago in the past month. The two storms, which occurred within about a week of each other, killed 773 people and caused more than $7 million in damages.
