Epic monsoon rains and typhoons have battered a vast swath of Asia relentlessly this year, killing hundreds of people from the Philippines to India and inflicting billions of dollars in damage over the last four months. Thailand is among the hardest hit; the floods here are the worst in half a century, claiming more than 280 lives since late July.
This will impact the region's agriculture, economy, business communities, everything that supports life and well-being. It will take years for the region to recover. .It's things like this that make me realize just how lucky I am to be living where I'm living.
