I have sifted through the lists of named Pacific storms and given you those that affected the Philippines in 2009 included tropical depressions if they caused death or severe flooding. The islands were pummeled this year! It will take much money and work to fix the damage from this year's season...... Please see the sources for more information on each storm/typhoon.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
