Financial Storm Brewing

Typhoon Wipha is about to hit the Shanghai, China region. An estimated 1.8 million people have been evacuated ahead of its 165 mph winds. Should Wipha maintain its current course and intensity, it is poised to become the most destructive storm to hit China in years.

Shanghai is a major port and financial center for the Chinese. Such a disaster would cause a major disruption in the world's supply of leaded toys, contaminated pet food, counterfeit DVD's, and anti-freeze spiked toothpaste.
