Damage in the United States amounted to $65 billion.<\/li>\n<li>New Jersey hospitals saw a spike in births nine months after Sandy, causing some to believe that there was a post-Sandy baby boom. The Monmouth Medical Center saw a 35% jump, and two other hospitals saw 20% increases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Typhoon Haiyan (hurricane) in the Philippines last week<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The typhoon was 3 \u00bd \u00a0times more forceful than Hurricane Katrina<\/li>\n<li>No electricity. No food. No water. Houses and buildings leveled. Bodies scattered on the streets. Hospitals overrun with patients. Medical supplies running out.<\/li>\n<li>The International Committee of the Red Cross said it is fairly realistic to estimate that 10,000 people may have died nationally, because many areas are unreachable by organizations.<\/li>\n<li>In Tacloban, the search for food and water led to increasingly desperate efforts.<\/li>\n<li>Video showed people breaking into grocery stores and cash machines in the city.<\/li>\n<li>Another dire scene played out in the city&#8217;s only functioning hospital. Doctors couldn&#8217;t admit any more wounded victims &#8212; there wasn&#8217;t enough room. Some of the injured lay in the hospital&#8217;s cramped hallways seeking treatment.<\/li>\n<li>The northern part of Bogo, in the central Philippines, suffered a blackout Sunday, and authorities said it will take months to restore power.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; This week on Ready Radio, Doug and Amy discuss Hurricanes, Tropical storms, and Typhoons.
