1)There are hurricane Katia getting closer to the U.S. Gulf Coast and Typhoon Talas hit Japan.

2)As of Sept 1, 2011 Katia is now a category 1 hurricane. It is moving west at 20 mph and is about 1065 miles east of the Leeward Islands. Katia could become a major hurricane by the weekend. The storm is passiing north of the Caribbean and is moving to the east coast and could hit the U.S. Gulf Coast over the weekend. There will be as much as 6 to 12 inches of rain on the Gulf Coast by Saturday.
After dealing with the 9.0 earthquake earlier this year, Typhoon Talas, a tropical storm as bad as Hurricane Irene, hit Japan and killed 47 lives and 450,000 people evacuated, and left them 26 inches of rain in one night.      

          

3) I think if we change the way we live in nature like less polution, stop killing trees and grow more, everyone start recycling, etc then this would not be happening right now and killed many lives.
