UNFORTUNATE NAMES FOR NATURAL DISASTERS


Wade in China


If it weren't for the fact that 15 people have died, dozens are missing, and almost a million people have been forced to evacuate, there would be something amusing about the name of what's causing so much flooding and destruction right now in China: Typhoon Longwang.

By the way, here's a piece of trivia for everyone: Oliver Wang's last name was originally Longwang, but he had it shortened.

But seriously, where's the coverage?
