Quick update on Typhoon Morakot and Hurricane Felicia

Currently, the Taiwanese electric company (Taipower) is reporting that approximately 1,000,000 customers lost power due to Typhoon Morakot (now a T.S.) (http://wapp10.taipower.com.tw/ndsexpess/eng/nds_e.htm#CHANGHWA). This is about 9 % of their total customers. However, they also report than only about 100,000 customers are still without power. Hence, 90 % of the total outages have been restored in less than 24 hours, an amaizingly fast restoration which merits further examination.
Regarding Hurricane Felicia, as expected has weekened to a cat. 2 storm and is expected to weaken even more before reaching Hawaii. Hence, it should not have much impact on the island.
