in the western pacific, this is the first year since 2004 that we have had about average activity.e have not had many of these storms in the pacific. the five category fives we have seen this year is about average, so we have been doing well. that,e thing i can add to the proportion of these high-end if we has increased, so look at the total number of storms worldwide, it seems when we do get in them, there is a higher proportion of these storms of high intensity. but it is difficult to measure these things. we just have satellite estimates. there is uncertainty about how hurricanes and typhoons have changed in the past few decades because our measuring has been slow. about the warsaw meeting, having a super typhoon is the backdrop to what is going on as well as the fact that we have had 35 other billion-dollar disasters on earth. that will add a little extra emphasis and urgency perhaps to coming up with a solution. i am hopeful the warsaw meetings will be productive but the big meeting we have to worry about is paris in 2015. that is when we are looking at trying to get a real cl

we see typhoons like this in the western pacific, but not very often and the formula here for this total destruction was where it hit. in the philippines, you have luzon at the north, where manila is. typhoons normally hit up there so people moved to the west coast. there's very few people on east coast of the philippines in the north. they don't often hit in middle islands. they have not moved out of harm's way so to speak and that was the formula that made this so much worse. it's an incredible storm in a place where they don't normally get them. some people didn't take the necessary means to -- >> or were unable to. >> exactly. >> brian, at least one article says what appears to set this storm apart, the ferocity of its winds. talk about the components of what was happening that made all of these pieces come together no this deadly storm that we're seeing the ramifications of right now? >> well, here in the southwestern pacific, the water is warm. it just takes randomness to make the atmosphere be so perfect to make a perfectly round storm. it was really just things coming together. b

in the western pacific, it's called a cyclone in the indian ocean. so just different names for the same tropical entity. when we talk about the strength of the storm, one thing we looked at, especially satellite imagery, is how tight the eye is. this is a perfect circle. typically you only see this type of thing on satellite. a strong category 4 or 5 hurricane or cyclone. this is a super typhoon. category 3 or higher is typically what we call a super typhoon. the third typhoon to hit this year. there's another system behind this we're going to monitor in the next couple of days. if it is verified, it will be the strongest system ever to make landfall. the current record is hurricane camille in 1969 which devastated parts of mississippi and louisiana. incredible storm system. we're going to continue to monitor it. >> sometimes mother nature makes no sense. thank you. kelly. >> new numbers suggesting the u.s. labor force is shrinking, coming up, we will take a look at what's behind this very troubling trend and what can be done to turn things around. s

. >> reporter: yes, we have the 27th named storm in the western pacific at the moment, it's the 7th typhoonseason and what is a very active season. something called the accumulated cyclone energy, a measure of how active the storms together have been and we are up to 87% and it's increasing. i have not finished and more storms developing over the philippines and further towards the east. but at the moment it is about here which is heading further into the south china sea and rain is coming down in the philippines but the track has changed somewhat. it was expected to go across noon and it will dip further to the south, missing hinan and making landfall in vietnam where they expect the rainfall at this time of year, looking at the rainfall map, you can see how we sort of peak once we get to october, november time because of these tropical systems. so over the next 24 hours you can still see an awful lot of rain coming down across the region. that system begins to push further towards the west and then as we get through into latter parts of the weekend we will look at large rainfall beginning

when you visit them in afghanistan and western pacific, you don't get questions like, what is sequester going to do to me? they know how to spell it, but that's about it. they want to know, commandant, is this the last deployment or am i going to be able to go to combat again or go to west back again? so our morale is high right now and going to stay high as long as we give them something to look forward to. the orientation to the pacific reenergized marines. afghanistan, we are coming out of there in 2014. what's left? we talk about darwin, australia, japan, guam. their eyes light up. morale in my service is high. >> an annedote. you are not going to have a reduction in force, we'll do it with attrition. we have a lot of people retiring. that struck me because that's a lot of seniority and talent and experience going out the top and we don't have a lot going in the bottom. we'll be out of balance. i spoke about that in my oral statement. general welsh mentioned kids getting bored. so in the navy we are starting to develop a situation where when you get ready to deploy, you're going to

we're looking at a super typhoon in the western pacific. the joint tie feign warning center upgraded the storm right here. the problem with this is this is going to be the strongest storm system to hit the philippines this year. so far this year we have seen 11 storms, up to about a category 4 equivalent. this one is super tee foon could be the equivalent of a category 5. the other problem is we're expecting it to hit right here in the eastern part of the philippines, the same place that we saw an earthquake last month that killed 150 people. we will keep you informed. we expect to see a landfall of the system on friday. the other big story is the notice making its way up towards the northern plains and the great lakes. we expect to see another 4 to 6 inches of snow falling across the region. notice the temperatures, though. we have a cold front right here just to the northwest of the front. the temperatures are much colder, actually below freezing. denver is at 23. much warmer ahead of it. memphis is at 63. when you get those conflicting a

in other parts of the world, the western pacific included, it's called a typhoon or cyclone if it hits india. there's different names. don't get confused by that. this one is a super typhoon. in the united states we know stronger hurricanes, cat gear 3, 4, 5, those are called major hurricanes. here a super typhoon would be our equivalent of the strong category 4 or category 5 storm. really, the strongest of these storms. this one is very well-defined with that eye at the end. that means you have the even convection around the center of the storm. that's a sign of organization. so winds to 155 miles per hour right now. this is expected over the next couple of days to get possibly over 160 miles per hour. right now it's what we would consider a category 4. it will become a category 5. some of those wind gusts could go over 200 miles per hour with this. this is headed over the next couple of days straight towards the philippines. it looks like friday and continuing across and late in the weekend making a second landfall into vietnam. the big concern with this is it's a big storm welling u

now, typhoon haiyan swept in from the western pacific to hit the philippines earlier today.uivalent of a category five hurricane. millions of people have had to seek shelter there. officials say three people have died so far, but there are fears that could rise because many places can't be contacted, the phone lines are down. aid agencies say the death toll could rise considerably, and the devastation could be extensive. it's been reported that some buildings, including a hotel, have collapsed. trees have fallen across roads hampering the relief effort. eyewitnesses also say there has been a storm surge with 5-meter waves hitting the coast. some areas haven't been in contact since the typhoon hit such as mendora island. around 12 million people are at risk from the storm. the authorities have been stockpiling medical and food supplies to help those affected. the central philippines is the worth affected with the country's second largest city hit by high winds and heavy rains. the central region was already trying to recover from a powerful earthquake last month. there has be

call it a super typhoon which means it has winds over 150 miles per hour and located across the western pacific, hurricane, cyclone, typhoon, all same thing across the world. just in a difffrent locations. we call them hurricanes over across the atlantic ocean and eastern pacific ocean. storm system is still on the move. we estimate it had maximum sustained winds of 195 miles an hour when it made landfall. that would mean wind gusts are estimated up to 230 miles per hour. that is catastrophic damage. at that is expected with this storm system. we lost communication with some people out there. it is estimated over 700,000 people were evacuated and just a month ago. out here in the philippines we had an earthquake that caused significant damage. people were displaced from their homes and were actually in makeshift shelters out here. so we are talking, millions of people that could have been impacted by this storm system. it has weakened a little bit but still a significant storm. still a super typhoon. equivalent to what would be a category 4 hurricane with maximum sustained winds at 155 miles pe

when you go visit them in afghanistan, in the western pacific, you do not get questions like, "what is the e?"uester going to do to mak they want to know if it will be their last deployment. our morale is pretty high right now, and i think it's going to stay high as long as we give them something to look forward to. the reorientation to the pacific is just reenergized -- has just reenergized a lot of marines. we talk about darwin, australia. we talk about japan. we talked about guam, and their eyes light up, so the morale in my service is pretty high. >> an anecdote -- i had two of -- my systems commands, they have a lot of civilians, and they came to me and said, "you will not have to worry about headquarters reduction and a reduction in force. we have a lot of people retiring, so that struck me because that's a lot of seniority and talent and experience going out the top, and we do not have a lot going in the bottom, so we will be out of balance, and i spoke about that in my statement. kidsal wells mentioned getting bored. in the navy, we are starting to develop a situation where whe

example, right now we have one carrier strike group deployed in both the arabian gulf and the western pacific. and our one response carrier strike group, the nimitz is in the eastern mediterranean. because of fiscal limitations and the situation we're in we don't have another group trained and ready to respond on short notice in case of a contingency. we're tapped out. in 2014 we'll be forced to cancel aircraft and ship maintenance that will result in reduced life in our ship and aircraft. we'll only conduct essential renovation of facilities further increasing the large backlog in that area. we'll be required to keep a hiring freeze in place that will further degrade the distribution of skill and balance in the civilian workforce which is so critical. we won't be able to use prior year funds to mitigate like we did in fiscal 2013. without congressional action we will required to cancel the plachbd procurement of a virginia class submarine a literal combat ship and an afloat forward staging ship and we will be forced to delay the delivery of the ford and delay the overhaul of "the george wash

i want to take you to the western pacific ocean where we have a super typhoon heading towards the philippinesis the equivalent of a category 5 hurricane. this storm again is headed for a densely populated area. so this is a major concern across parts of the philippines. now i want to take you back to our country where we have a cold front headed eastbound. it's producing areas of rain across parts of the northeast, all the way down into sections of the southeast. i really think that what's most significant with this storm system is the cooldown that we'll be experiencing. grab the umbrella along the east coast. you'll notice cooler temperatures as we come up to the weekend. across the pacific northwest, another storm system, a lot of rain, snow and also strong winds. let's head back inside. >> all right. thank you very much. let me tell you what's happening in pro football. something negative going on in the world's most popular game outside soccer, outside our borders. everyone is concerned about head injuries. now we have another horrible story. tony dorsett now comes forward and says, i ha

that doesn't go on in the western pacific. the united states is the only country that does that.hurricane camille tops the list, wind speeds of 190 miles per hour. the labor day hurricane is after that. then in 2010, there was reconnaissance data on that storm, as well. in the philippines, they'll have to go in and look at what devastation happened, look at weather data that was collected to see if this was the strongest typhoon at landfall. there are discrepancies as far as how strong this storm was. why is there so much confusion over that? >> because that have data, when we don't have aircraft going inside looking at it, you're looking at satellites and seeing how god the presentation is. this had a phenomenal presentation indicating high winds, but estimating based on a satellite versus actual data are two different things. >> you can't compare it to other data, in other words. >> and some of the kim in philippines could have been wiped out in the storm. we'll see what data survived. >> we'll have more on the typhoon coming up in a moment. even know nuclear talks with iran en

are a series of them on either side, were at the time the largest dry docks in the western united states, the pacificleet made this their port for repairs. and these things, i don't remember the length, 300 plus feet long. and they've had pump stations so that they float a ship in, chalk it up, pump it up, have the ship in dry dock to do repairs. there is a whole series. you can go out and drive around hunters point if you can get past the guards. i think they'll let people in. >> yes. >> and take a look around. did you have something else you wanted to say? >> yes. actually, the slide further north which is the original dry dock. >> the original pump house. in fact, it says pumping gate and pump house. >> this shows up, probably not much later, showed up in the 1880s. they're old-timers. that dry dock is still there and reasonably intact. >> on our way up there we'll look at the waterfront along hunters point ru abouterctiontion ble and abandoned buildings is mostly what we saw up at hunters point. >> and the vast majority was filled after 1942, after the navy took it over. so most of this is pretty

because of its location on the western edge of a warming pacific powering giant storms. it's not just homes that are at risk. it's bridges, roads, telecommunication lines. natural infrastructure. people increasingly are going to have to rely on resourcefulness like this. and there is plenty to go around. the market building was badly damaged so it's vendors have moved to street happy to be doing business again and adapting to their changed world. >> earlier matthew croc cochrans in the worst effected area of the philippines for the united nations humanitarian affairs. he discussed the challenges facing this relief effort. >> some people have suffered quite traumatic injuries, and it's critical that assistance reaches them very soon, and we're happy to report that a couple of field hospitals have opened in the last couple of days, an people need clean wate, and water system in tacloban has become up and running, that was critical that that was repaired. we're aware that sanitation presents it's own risk. the longer people go with proper sanitation and clean water, the gre

it swept in from the western pacific to hit the philippines a few hours ago.e philippines and can easily be seen from space. it's the equivalent of a category 5 hurricane. millions of people had to seek shelter. officials say three people have died, but there are fears that could rise because many places hit can't be contacted as phone lines are down. it's being reported that some buildings have collapsed, including a hotel. the philippine authorities say around 12 million people are adrift from the storm. the central philippines is the worst affected. the country's second largest city hit by hard rain and winds. they were just recovering from a powerful earthquake last month. back to you guys. >> david, thank you for that update. certainly listen for more soon. >> that is a gigantic storm. >> i don't know how you report from it. >> you can't. that's why he's in bangkok. >> safe place. heather nauert is here for the rest of the headlines. >> imagine some of those winds, up to 200 miles per hour. maria has been talking about the heaviest sustained winds. >> off

strategic purposes and a good pr campaign for the united states as it repositions itself in the western pacific are seeing that the u.s. is throwing almost everything it has in and china has not contributed anything and says it has relief to come if need be but china and philippines have a bit of a territorial dispute of waters in the south china sea and seems to be an issue that china holds close to its heart because it's yet to contribute to the aid effort. >> they received criticism from that even within their own country. but the u.n. said about 4 million people are displaced from typhoon haiyan in the philippines, where are all these people going? >> well, that is right, 13 million people are said to have been effected by this. and as you said stephanie 4 million displaced and many on the ground with no where to go, no homes, no shelter and they are still in the area. that is where a lot of the problem exists because they need shelter, they need sanitation and medical care and they need food and water. some of them are coming back through here in saboo at the airforce base where i am and b
