Taiwan today paid tribute to more than 700 people killed or missing in Typhoon Morakot a year ago. The typhoon slammed into Taiwan in August 2009, bringing powerful winds and torrential rain that left at least 614 people dead and 75 missing, including an estimated 400 buried in the village of Hsiaolin alone.Typhoon Morakot dumped a record three metres of rain and some experts have since warned that global warming could trigger another similarly powerful storm in a year or two. President Ma Ying-jeou is scheduled to attend memorial service later today in the southern city of Kaohsiung to commemorate the victims from Hsiaolin village.
