Typhon Morokat

Typhon Morokat was the worst Taiwan had in 50 years. It struck Taiwan on the 9th of August 2009. We are studying this typhon for our mapping unit and for social studies. We used google earth for this unit and some diagrams to help us see where the typhon hit the most also some pictures to see what Morokat had done to the city of Chiya. I chose this picture because so you can see how strong the waves were and what it did. In this picture the typhons waves are knocking down two houses and the one in the front was a big and sturdy house but the waves took over. The waves were so powerful because when the waves went under the houses they cut it from the ground which made them fall.This typhon relates to our mapping unit because we look at were this hits.
