New Disaster Will Add To The Probablity Of Global Chaos And Famine
Philippines May Lose 600,000 Tons of Rice as Supertyphoon Megi Hits Land
"The Philippines, the world’s biggest rice buyer, may lose 600,000 metric tons of the crop as Supertyphoon Megi, the strongest to hit the nation this year, strikes some of the nation’s biggest producing areas, a government official said. Rice futures advanced.
“Once the typhoon hits those areas, the crop will be affected,” Agriculture Undersecretary Antonio Fleta said in a phone interview from Manila. “Even if farmers harvest the damaged rice, they’d have a hard time drying the grain. There may not be much left to sell.”
About 157,000 hectares of land planted to rice in Cagayan and Isabela provinces may be in the path of the typhoon, Fleta said. Megi has sustained winds of 270 kilometers (168 miles) per hour, the U.S. Navy Joint Typhoon Warning Center said, making it a Category 5 storm capable of catastrophic damage.
Half of the planted areas in the two provinces are ready for harvest and the rest are in the reproductive stage, leaving them susceptible to damage, Fleta said."
HAARP's been busy this year.

Haha, the Philipines have always been in the crosshairs since the spanish american war. Very, very important piece of property there and destabilizing government and society there will be crucial to the reptiles.
How can I post a pic of your new kitten, anon?
