Typhoon Morakot, documented on YouTube

Typhoon Morakot slammed into the coast of Taiwain and other parts of China over the weekend, leading to massive flooding, significant structural damage, and over a dozen dead - with hundreds more injured. The strong storm had already wreaked havoc on the Philippines - where 21 people have died - and is just part of a series of deadly natural disasters that have pummeled China, Japan, the Philippines and Taiwan over the past few days.

Individuals weathering Morakot from up close have been documenting what's happening outside of their windows and posting videos to YouTube.

Here's a playlist of some of the footage coming in:
