New York's LaGuardia Airport reopened a runway closed after a jetliner skidded into the grass when its nose gear collapsed Monday, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said Tuesday.
The closure spurred two-hour flight delays early Tuesday as workers loaded the plane on a flatbed truck and officials inspected the runway, according to authority spokesman Chris Valens.
The Federal Aviation Administration said on its website that the average delay as of 6 a.m. had been two hours and 13 minutes. The disabled Southwest Airlines plane was being taken to an American Airlines hangar for further investigation, Valens said.
The National Transportation Safety Board said it's still considering whether to launch an investigation. The plane's cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder were being taken to its labs in Washington.
On Monday, 10 people suffered minor injuries when the nose gear of Southwest Flight 345 collapsed upon landing at the airport, the Port Authority reported.
The plane was arriving from Nashville about 5:40 p.m. when the accident occurred. The nose of the blue-and-orange jet came to rest on the ground after the aircraft came to a stop, and passengers evacuated the aircraft on emergency slides.
"The aircraft skidded down the runway on its nose and then veered off and came to rest in a grass area between the runway and taxiway foxtrot," Thomas Bosco, the airport's general manager, told reporters. It stopped about halfway down the 7,000-foot runway.
Kathy Boles, a passenger aboard the Boeing 737, said a "strong jolt" shook the cabin when the gear failed and the nose slammed into the tarmac.
"It was just a bang and a bounce, and then a slam on the brakes and a skidding feeling," Boles told CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360°."
"I feel extremely blessed to have come off that," she said. "It just really felt like the plane could have broken in half, it was such a hard impact."
Fellow passenger Anastasia Elliot said the situation was "pretty chaotic."
"We hit the ground pretty hard and slid," she said. "There was a lot of smoke filling the plane, just a lot of smoke and burnt rubber."
Another passenger said it felt like the plane crashed and then skidded to a stop.
"Everything in the plane that was loose went flying forward," Bill Roland said. "There were cell phones, iPads, books (and) drinks all skidded up."
The flight had 150 people aboard. In addition to the 10 injured on the plane, a Port Authority police officer was treated for heat exhaustion, Bosco said.
There were conflicting reports about how many members of the aircraft's crew were among the injured. Southwest said three flight attendants had reported being hurt, while the Bosco said the six-member crew had been taken to a hospital for observation.
LaGuardia was closed to arriving flights as emergency vehicles surrounded the disabled jet, but the airport was back open for arrivals and departures by 7 p.m., Bosco said.
Initially, the FAA said the crew reported a possible nose gear problem before landing but later amended that to say no issues were noted ahead of time after a review of air controller tapes. In a statement Monday, Southwest said the plane had last been inspected four days earlier.
The 737 has a conventional hydraulic landing gear system -- a unit under each wing and a steerable wheel that extends from under the nose. Pilots can land safely with only the main gear operable, and such incidents occur from time to time.
Southwest has more than 600 of the 737s in its fleet, including those operated by its subsidiary AirTran.
Monday's incident followed a runway crash of an Asiana Airlines jetliner in San Francisco last month that killed three people and injured more than 180 others.
Investigators in that crash will not determine a cause for several months at least, but initial attention has focused on actions of the crew during approach.

It is believed that "Madawaska" was derived from a Maliseet word, which literally means "River Junction." French Acadians settled here in 1785 after being forced to flee Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island because they would not pledge allegiance to the British Crown. A 14-foot white marble cross on the banks of the St. John River marks the landing site of the first Acadian settlers in Madawaska.
The adjacent Tante Blanche Museum, named for a Madawaska woman whose legendary acts of kindness helped the community survive a 1797 famine, preserves the history and heritage of the settlers. Today, the town possesses a thriving potato industry, and local children are excused from school during harvest time to help with the work. The lights of Edmundston, New Brunswick can be seen across the river. The majority of Madawaska's residents are of Acadian descent, and French is still spoken here—with a little Quebecois and English thrown into the mix. This unique blend of languages is termed "Valley French."

Relocating can be an exciting adventure, but few people get excited by the process of the actual move. Friends with strong backs and big trucks are handy when moving across town, but not for out of state moving. You could always rent a truck and do it yourself, but hauling stacks of heavy boxes all weekend is no way to start off a long drive. Hiring professional movers would make the chore easier, but which company do you choose? Trusting strangers to take care of your valuables is a big step, especially for a long-distance move. To make sure you get the best deal and the best service, know your rights and responsibilities when hiring a mover and take time to ask some important questions.
Have you been rated by the Better Business Bureau? The BBB has registered more than 17,000 reviews on movers nationwide. Ask the company about their BBB rating and follow up with some quick research on the BBB website.
May I see your storage facility? If a company doesn't want potential customers to see how and where they store other people's belongings, the chances are good that you don't want them in charge of yours.
Where can I contact your references? Any company can throw testimonials on a website or ads to look like the most beloved local mover in the area. Verify as many recommendations as you can, even those that come from friends and family.
Do you offer a written estimate? Get at least three estimates before signing a contract with a mover. Estimates are based on the services you're requesting and the weight of your belongings, as well as the distance of the move. Be sure to include all the items you'll be moving, including those in the garage, attic, basement or storage facility when you seek an estimate. Remember that the lowest bid may not actually be the best deal. Quality of service, reliability and reputation should also be considered.
Who is responsible for damage or loss? Be sure you understand the company's liability policy and get it in writing. Companies may not accept liability if you've packed your belongings yourself. Check your homeowner's policy - it may provide coverage if your items are lost or damaged during a move. Contact your agent if you're not sure or if you need to increase coverage.
How long will it take to relocate my belongings? Moving companies handle many shipments at once. Your belongings may be packed into a truck along with other items and delivered on a route, and long-distance moves may take much longer than you expect. It might only take you three days to drive to your new location, but it may take the moving company three weeks to show up. It's important to know this information upfront so you can plan accordingly and pack all of your family's immediate needs in the car or a small trailer.
An out-of-state move is always hectic, but you can make it less stressful by staying organized, being flexible and communicating clearly with your professional mover. You probably didn't buy or rent your new home without doing some research and asking questions; be a smart consumer and apply that same common sense to choosing a moving company and you'll be feeling "at home" in no time.

Aaron Swartz, an Internet savant who at a young age shaped the online era by co-developing RSS and Reddit and later became a digital activist, has committed suicide.
Swartz's body was found Friday evening in Brooklyn, said Ellen Borakove, a spokeswoman with the New York medical examiner's office. The 26-year-old had hanged himself in his apartment.
His family and partner said they were "in shock, and have not yet come to terms with his passing."
"Aaron's insatiable curiosity, creativity, and brilliance; his reflexive empathy and capacity for selfless, boundless love; his refusal to accept injustice as inevitable -- these gifts made the world, and our lives, far brighter," they said in a statement. "We're grateful for our time with him, to those who loved him and stood with him, and to all of those who continue his work for a better world."
A prodigy, Swartz was behind some of the Internet's defining moments, soaring to heights that many developers only dream of. At the same time, he was plagued by legal problems arising from his aggressive activism, and he was also known to suffer depression, a personal matter that he publicly revealed on his blog.
Technology activist Cory Doctorow met Swartz when he was 14 or 15, Doctorow said on his blog.
"In so many ways, he was an adult, even then, with a kind of intense, fast intellect that really made me feel like he was part and parcel of the Internet society," Doctorow wrote.
"But Aaron was also a person who'd had problems with depression for many years," Doctorow blogged. He added that "whatever problems Aaron was facing, killing himself didn't solve them. Whatever problems Aaron was facing, they will go unsolved forever."
At age 14, Swartz co-wrote the RSS specification.
He was later admitted to Stanford University, but dropped out after a year because, as he wrote in a blog post, "I didn't find it a very intellectual atmosphere, since most of the other kids seemed profoundly unconcerned with their studies."
What he did next was help develop Reddit, the social news website that was eventually bought by heavyweight publisher Conde Nast in 2006.
Swartz then engaged in Internet digital activism, co-founding Demand Progress, a political action group that campaigns against Internet censorship.
But he pushed the legal limits, allegedly putting him on the wrong side of the law.
In 2011, he was arrested in Boston for alleged computer fraud and illegally obtaining documents from protected computers. He was later indicted in an incident in which he allegedly stole millions of online documents from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He pleaded not guilty in September, according to MIT's "The Tech" newspaper.
Two years earlier, the FBI investigated him after he released millions of U.S. federal court documents online. The alleged hacking was significant because the documents came from the government-run Public Access to Court Electronic Records, or PACER, which typically charges a fee, which was 8 cents a page in 2009.
No charges were filed in that case, but on October 5, 2009, he posted online his FBI file that he apparently requested from the agency. He redacted the FBI agents' names and his personal information, he said.
In that file, the FBI said more than 18 million pages with a value of about $1.5 million were downloaded from PACER in September 2008 to Swartz's home in Highland Park, Illinois.
"As I hoped, it's truly delightful," he wrote of his FBI file.
Swartz's family and partner recalled his "commitment to social justice," and called his death "the product of a criminal justice system rife with intimidation and prosecutorial overreach." They criticized U.S. prosecutors for seeking "an exceptionally harsh array of charges (for) an alleged crime that had no victims," and MIT because it did not "stand up for Aaron."
"Decisions made by officials in the Massachusetts U.S. Attorney's office and at MIT contributed to his death," they said.
Christina DiIorio-Sterling, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of Justice, declined to comment on Swartz's case, citing respect for the family.
His funeral will be held Tuesday at a synagogue in Highland Park.
Swartz, who completed a fellowship at Harvard's Ethics Center Lab on Institutional Corruption, frequently blogged about his life, success and personal struggles. In some instances, he wrote about death.
"There is a moment, immediately before life becomes no longer worth living, when the world appears to slow down and all its myriad details suddenly become brightly, achingly apparent," he wrote in a 2007 post titled "A Moment Before Dying."
On November 27, 2007, he blogged about "depressed mood."

Depending on natural lighting can lead to a whole slew of concerns such as temperature change, algae growth, and restrictions of placement. You should always moderate the lighting in your aquarium to your specifications. Your lighting system is not going to do you or anyone any good if all the lights are burnt out.

The decision to travel is your responsibility. You are also responsible for your personal safety abroad. The Government of Canada takes the safety and security of Canadians abroad very seriously and provides credible and timely information in its Travel Advice. In the event of a crisis situation that requires evacuation, the Government of Canada's policy is to provide safe transportation to the closest safe location. The Government of Canada will assist you in leaving a country or a region as a last resort, when all means of commercial or personal transportation have been exhausted. This service is provided on a cost-recovery basis. Onward travel is at your personal expense. Situations vary from one location to another, and there may be constraints on government resources that will limit the ability of the Government of Canada to provide assistance, particularly in countries or regions where the potential for violent conflict or political instability is high.
There have been frequent clashes between Thailand and Cambodia over a border dispute in this region, including exchanges of gunfire and artillery, which resulted in numerous fatalities and the evacuation of civilians. Martial law is in effect in the area and the presence of landmines has been reported. Tensions are high and military hostilities could further escalate without warning. Exercise a high degree of caution if you are travelling to all other areas of the Thai-Cambodian border.
Violence in the Muslim-majority southernmost provinces of Narathiwat, Pattani, Yala and Songkhla is highly unpredictable. Attacks against military and civilian targets occur almost daily, and include shootings, bombings, beheadings and arson. You risk becoming victim of an indiscriminate attack if you travel in the region. Deadly attacks occur frequently and are regularly directed at government and security buildings and personnel, but have also occurred in a variety of public places, including shopping districts, entertainment venues, public transit and hotels that may be frequented by tourists. Since January 2004, more than 4,700 people have been killed and many more injured, including foreigners.
Heavily enhanced security measures—including martial law in the provinces of Narathiwat, Pattani and Yala, as well as the Sadao district of Songkhla—are in place to provide authorities with increased enforcement powers that may be used to address ongoing violence in the region. These measures allow authorities to detain suspects without charge, conduct searches, seize objects or documents, and impose curfews.
Be particularly vigilant when travelling to the border areas in the Thai provinces of Tak and Mae Hong Son due to banditry and occasional armed clashes on the Burmese side of the border, and between Thai security forces and armed criminal groups, such as drug traffickers. Incursions and shelling into Thailand have occurred. Border crossing points may be closed without notice.
Large-scale political demonstrations are taking place in several areas across Bangkok, as well as in other parts of the country, including the town of Phuket. These protests, which are expected to continue into the foreseeable future, mainly target government buildings, including provincial halls, but have also occurred in other locations. They can start with little warning and it is difficult to predict demonstration routes. Since late November, violent incidents have been reported. Police have used tear gas, water cannons and rubber bullets in their attempts to deter protesters. Clashes between protesters late on November 30/early on December 1, near Ramkhamhaeng University in Bang Kapi district (northern Bangkok), resulted in fatalities.
In 2010, similar demonstrations led to violent clashes, occasionally involving the use of explosive devices, and resulted in more than 90 deaths and several injuries. Demonstrations, civil unrest, sporadic violence and attacks remain an important risk anywhere in the country at any time.
The Internal Security Act (ISA) is in effect in all of Bangkok Capital district, Nonthaburi, Lad Lumkaew in Pathumthai, and Bang Phli in Samuprakan (Suvarnabhumi International Airport). The ISA grants additional powers to security forces, including the right to impose curfews, set up checkpoints, restrict movement, search for weapons and exercise force in response to violence. Expect a heightened police and military presence as well as traffic delays and roadblocks.
Avoid all demonstrations and large gatherings, which have the potential to suddenly turn violent, and locations where they could take place. Avoid military installations and concentrations of security personnel. Follow the advice of local authorities and remain informed of current events by monitoring local media.
There is a threat of terrorism throughout Southeast Asia, including Thailand. Maintain a high level of personal security awareness at all times as the security situation could deteriorate without notice. Exercise caution, particularly in commercial and public establishments (hotels, clubs, restaurants, bars, schools, places of worship), outdoor recreation events and tourist areas frequented by foreigners.
On February 14, 2012, three explosions occurred in the area of Sukhumvit Soi 71, Bangkok. Reports indicate that five people were injured. In January 2012, following warnings of possible terrorist threats against tourist areas, particularly in Bangkok, Thai authorities increased security measures and made arrests and seizures in relation to an alleged terrorist plot.
Violent crime against foreigners occurs occasionally. Petty crime, such as purse snatching, pickpocketing and theft, is common. Do not leave bags unattended. Ensure that your personal belongings, passports and other travel documents are secure at all times, especially in tourist areas, crowded markets, and bus or train stations. Thieves sometimes use razors to slit open purses or bags to remove the contents. Use only reputable transportation companies. Thefts have been reported on the buses and vans that provide transport services throughout the country. Personal belongings, including passports, have been stolen from luggage compartments under buses, especially on long distance journeys. Break-ins occur at budget guesthouses, sometimes while guests are asleep in their rooms.
Be careful at night in entertainment areas throughout the country, particularly during Full Moon parties in Koh Phangan and similar events in other popular tourist locations. Robberies, injuries, drug abuse, arrests, assaults (including sexual assaults) and deaths related to these parties have been reported. Passport thefts and losses are extremely common at these parties and their replacement may cause significant travel delays.
Foreigners have been targeted in incidents of drink spiking, often combined with sexual assault or theft. Never leave food or drinks unattended or in the care of strangers, and pay attention when drinks are being prepared and served. Seek immediate medical attention if you suspect that you have been drugged.
Exercise caution when travelling to the border areas with Burma (Myanmar). Occasional violence, banditry and clashes between government forces, rebel units, and drug traffickers have been reported. Consult the Thai Tourist Police, by calling 1155 toll-free, to determine if official border crossing points are open. Cross at designated border crossing points only, with the required travel documentation.
Sexual assaults against foreign women have occurred. Consult our publication entitled Her Own Way: A Woman's Safe-Travel Guide for travel safety information specifically aimed at Canadian women.
Some media reports indicate that there have been recent cases of poisoning allegedly linked to the consumption of a Thai beverage containing DEET.
Traffic drives on the left. Paved roads connect major cities, but most have only two lanes. Motorcycle accidents kill or maim Canadians in Thailand each year. You should avoid driving or riding motorcycles in Thailand, even if you are an experienced motorcyclist. Substandard road conditions, local disregard for traffic laws, and drunk driving result in frequent accidents, particularly in the areas of Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket and Koh Samui. Although motorcycles can easily be rented in Thailand, it is illegal to operate them without a valid Thai motorcycle licence or an international driving permit with a motorcycle endorsement. Helmets are mandatory for motorcycle drivers and passengers, but many do not meet international safety standards. Carry your identification card, driver's licence and vehicle registration book at all times.
Private vehicle, minivan and bus accidents caused by dangerous road conditions, poor weather, driver fatigue, dangerous driving practices and driver intoxication are common. Canadians have been injured or killed in such accidents. Slow-moving trucks limit speed and visibility. Speeding and reckless passing are common. Avoid driving on mountain roads at night, especially during the rainy season (June-October).
When arriving by air, use licensed taxis from official taxi stands, limousine services or official airport buses, or arrange to be picked up by hotel shuttle services. Unlicensed vehicles (black and white licence plates) are not properly insured to carry passengers and may not use meters. Do not share a taxi with strangers. Disputes with operators of taxis, tuk tuks, etc., have occurred and have occasionally resulted in violence or intimidation. Seek the assistance of local police in settling the matter if this happens to you and you feel threatened.
There have been several incidents of passenger boats sinking due to overcrowding and poor maintenance. Vessels often lack adequate safety equipment. Rail lines in the far south have been the target of acts of sabotage and armed attack.
A number of train accidents have occurred in the past few years, some causing injuries and deaths.
Consult our Transportation Safety page in order to verify if national airlines meet safety standards.
Canadians visiting Thailand regularly report having fallen victim to a variety of scams. Before renting a motorcycle or jet-ski, read all rental contracts thoroughly to ensure that the vehicle is insured to cover damage and theft. Only rent from reputable companies and never leave your passport as collateral. It has been reported that, upon return of the rental, claims of damage allegedly caused by the renter have been made. In some cases, renters who refused to pay were harassed and threatened, and their passports (left as collateral) were held. If your passport is inaccessible because of such a situation, you may be subject to investigation by Passport Canada and may receive limited passport services. In other cases, particularly with jet-skis, accidents have been allegedly staged to create damage for which the rental company seeks compensation from the renter. In cases of motorcycle rentals, some companies have been known to steal the motorcycle and claim compensation from the renter for the loss.
When dealing with travel agencies, ensure that the company is a reputable tour organization before providing payment. Disputes may be reported to the Tourism Authority of Thailand by calling 1672.
In known scams involving gems and jewellery, merchants sell lower-quality items at inflated prices with promises that the items can be resold at a profit. The guarantees that merchants offer are not always honoured. Carefully consider all purchases if you are not knowledgeable about gems and jewellery. The Government of Canada cannot assist in obtaining refunds for purchases made. For further information, contact the Tourism Authority of Thailand.
Report all incidents of crime or scams to the Thai police in the jurisdiction where the incident occurred, and before leaving Thailand. Contact the Tourist Police and the Tourist Assistance Centre by calling 1155 toll-free.
Deaths have occurred as a result of contact with poisonous sea jellies. There have been reports of sea jellies off Koh Pha-ngan, Phuket, Krabi, Koh Lanta and Koh Phi Phi. Exercise extreme caution when swimming in these areas. If stung, seek immediate medical attention.
Riptides in coastal areas can be strong, including the popular destinations of Phuket, Koh Samui, Pattaya, Rayong and Cha-am/Hua Hin. There have been a number of deaths due to drowning. Heed flag warnings and under no circumstances swim when a red flag is displayed.
Diving schools and rescue services may not adhere to international standards. Rent water sports equipment only from operators affiliated with major international training organizations.
Pirate attacks occur in coastal waters and, in some cases, farther out at sea. Mariners should take appropriate precautions. For additional information, consult the Live Piracy Report published by the International Maritime Bureau.
It is the sole prerogative of each country or region to determine who is allowed to enter. Canadian consular officials cannot intervene on your behalf if you do not meet entry requirements. The following information on entry and exit requirements has been obtained from the Thai authorities. However, these requirements are subject to change at any time. It is your responsibility to check with the Royal Thai Embassy or one of its consulates for up-to-date information. More information is available at the Thai Immigration Bureau.
Official (special and diplomatic) passport holders must consult the Official Travel page, as they may be subject to different entry requirements.
Canadians must present a passport to visit Thailand, which must be valid for at least six months beyond the date of expected departure from that country and must be in good condition.
Holders of regular Canadian passports arriving in Thailand for the purposes of tourism may stay for up to 30 days without a visa. Immigration officials can require visitors who are entering without obtaining a visa in advance to show return or onward tickets. Holders of Canadian special and diplomatic passports must obtain a visa at a Thai diplomatic mission abroad. Obtain the proper visa from a Thai embassy or consulate if you wish to stay longer, work or study. It is illegal to work on a tourist visa or without a work permit.
Foreigners are permitted to stay only up to the date indicated on the Thai entry stamp, regardless of the date indicated on a Thai visa. The Royal Thai Police have increased their random checks of foreigners and have arrested Canadians found to have overstayed their visas.
Travellers must obtain an entry stamp from an immigration officer at a point of entry into Thailand. Avoid visas, visa extensions or entry stamps issued through visa shops or travel agents in Thailand. Canadians have been arrested for having improper Thai visas or entry and exit stamps inserted into their passports. A passport that has been altered or that contains counterfeit visas and entry/exit stamps is technically invalid. Offenders can expect jail sentences, fines, and/or deportation, and may also be prohibited from entering Thailand in the future.
Tourist visa: Not required for stays of up to 30 days
Business visa: Required
Student visa: Required
Working visa: Required
All foreigners staying in Thailand longer than three months must notify the Thai Immigration Bureau of their residence every 90 days.
Children need special documentation to visit certain countries. Please consult our Children page for more information.
Some countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination before allowing entry. Consult the World Health Organization's country list to obtain information on this country's requirements.
For the latest Travel Health Notices and information on vaccinations, outbreaks and diseases, consult the website of the Public Health Agency of Canada.
The Agency strongly recommends that you consult with a travel medicine clinic or health care provider preferably six weeks before departure.
The Agency publishes travel health advice for Thailand.
Several Canadians each year suffer episodes of psychiatric distress, which can be brought on by pre-existing mental illness or as a result of illicit drug use. Thailand's heat, noise and large crowds may also prove a challenge for some travellers. Psychiatric or psychological facilities and services in Thailand may not meet international standards. Canadians with mental illness have been committed to state facilities, arrested and deported. Families and travellers should consult a medical professional before travelling. Many travel medical insurance policies explicitly do not cover psychiatric care.
Medical care varies in quality across the country. You are encouraged to go to Bangkok, where there are hospitals that meet international standards, if you are in need of medical care. In some areas of Thailand, proof of insurance may be required to obtain emergency medical care. Emergency evacuation may cost tens of thousands of dollars or more, depending on the location and severity of the condition.
You are subject to local laws. Consult our Arrest and Detention FAQ for more information.
Enforcement action against people involved in all aspects of illicit drugs has increased. Penalties for possession, use or trafficking of illegal drugs are very strict and include the death penalty for serious offences. The possession of even small amounts of illegal drugs, including marijuana, can result in severe fines and prison sentences. Arrested offenders may be prevented from leaving Thailand while legal proceedings are in process.
Night-time police spot-checks to search for illegal drugs occur, particularly in and around entertainment venues in Thailand. Uniformed or undercover police may search pockets, purses and bags, as well as vehicles. You may be asked to consent to a urine test. If you carry prescription or other medicines, it is preferable that they be in clearly marked, original packaging.
Foreigners are required to carry identification at all times. You may wish to carry a photocopy of your passport; however, police may require that you produce the original.
Gambling, with the exception of some horse racing, is illegal in Thailand.
Actions or words that are considered offensive or insulting to the King or the Royal Family are illegal and may result in criminal prosecution.
An International Driving Permit or a Thai driver's licence is required to drive in Thailand.
The currency is the baht (THB). Automated banking machines (ABMs) are widely available, and major credit cards are widely accepted. Traveller's cheques are accepted at banks, large hotels and shops. U.S. dollar traveller's cheques are recommended.
The rainy (or monsoon) season extends from June to October. Severe rainstorms can cause flash floods and landslides, interrupt essential services and delay overland travel, especially in remote locations. Jungle treks are not advisable during the rainy season, due to the possibility of mudslides. Flash flooding in caves has caused fatalities.
From July to November 2011, widespread flooding (including flash flooding) and landslides occurred in the central, northeast, northern and southern regions of Thailand. More than 800 deaths have been attributed to the flooding, many of which were caused by drowning or electrocution.
Consult our Typhoons and Monsoons page for more information.
