typhoons

The weather can shift and the typhoons direction can change in an instant, hitting the least expected areas.

The UK certainly does not have 113 Typhoons ready to fly right now and defend UK airspace...

Also, the region around Chernobyl isn't exactly known for the frequency of major natural disasters like earthquakes, tsunami, and typhoons.

The Philippines regularly gets hit with 20 typhoons each year and the typhoon season isn't over.

These structures could easily get wiped out by one of the 20 yearly typhoons which hit the Philippines every year.

Since Japan gets more typhoons than we do, I wouldn't be surprised if their record was even higher.

Why should the rich and powerful give up profit margins for better public health and so that other countries don't get typhoons?

Comparing winds speeds of two different typhoons isn't necessarily comparing the most destructive components.

Please note that the relationship between typhoons and climate change is unproven.

Another point I made in my first comment is that in my area, typhoons were rare.

Or have the typhoons been increasing in frequency in the recent past?

You can't make apples to apples comparisons on typhoons.

Donors can send a check to their local chapter, indicating “Philippines Typhoons and Floods” in the memo line.

In regards to this: "Tokyo is becoming increasingly reliant on this unique-to-Japan solution as more typhoons hit the country each year" as the US has seen no increase in hurricanes, and the last decade in particular has been remarkably lacking in hurricanes.

China’s new construction will allow ships to “take shelter” from typhoons and other inclement weather, as well as providing “navigation aid, search and rescue … [and] fishery service and administration” to ships from China and its neighbors alike, Hua said." [1] This reminds me of that argument against super-intelligence.

Typhoons are usually not that bad, it just means a lot more rain in an already very rainy country.

How about building submarines a bit larger than the old Soviet Typhoons, and having aircraft on those?

Hurricanes/Cyclones/Typhoons (all the same thing, just different oceans and hemispheres) are an important way to release heat energy built up in the ocean.
