BBC: Philippines Tropical Storm Tembin kills more than 100 on Mindanao

 

[Friends just call me Ross]

Quote

After Storm Tembin skirts the southern edge of Palawan it is forecast to travel west, south of the Spratly Islands, reaching southern Vietnam in about three days

 

A week ago, Tropical Storm Kai-Tak hit the central Philippines, killing dozens.

 

The region is still recovering from Typhoon Haiyan, which killed more than 5,000 people and affected millions in 2013.

 

Never heard about any of this on our nightly national TV news, or NPR (national public radio). 

Heard all about Prince Harry's engagement photos, though.

As long as Harry and Meghan have a storybook wedding and a wonderful life, what else really matters?
