    Here's another one:

    Meranti went from a Tropical Storm to a Cat.5 Typhoon in about 36 hours. From the table here:
    11/09 00 GMT: 70 MPH (TS)
    12/09 12 GMT: 180 MPH (Cat.5)

    That's what you might call "explosive" growth. Here it is passing the southern coast of Taiwan:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    If the "idiot" filming her went outside they could both have been killed

    Extraordinary images of it passing over the island of Itbayat. Incredibly there were no casualties. Heavy damage though.
