Storm Babet (known as Storm Viktor in Germany) was an intense extratropical cyclone which affected large parts of northern and western Europe.

Devastating floods caused by Storm Daniel swept across Libya, killing dozens of people. The death toll in Derna, a city declared a disaster zone, is expected to reach 2000.

Storm Daniel, also known as Cyclone Daniel, was the deadliest and costliest Mediterranean tropical-like cyclone ever recorded. Libya was hit the hardest, with torrential rains causing two dams near the city of Derna to fail.

The storm sat about 87 miles east, southeast of Hong Kong as of Friday afternoon local time and was expected to make landfall late Friday to early Saturday.
The Hong Kong Observatory, which monitors the weather in the region, issued a rare No. 8 signal early Friday morning. The local airport said about 366 flights were canceled and 40 more were delayed.

"It looks much closer if you look in the photo, but it was really far away. Well, not really far, far away, but it was far away from us," he said.
"I was keeping an eye on it."
Discovery
2002 CR46/42355 Typhon is a scattered disc object that was discovered on February 5, 2002, by the NEAT program. It measures 162+-7 km in diameter, and is named after Typhon, a monster in Greek mythology.
A large moon was identified in 2006. It is named Echidna-formal designation (42355). Echidna, the monstrous mate of Typhon. It orbits Typhon at ~1300 km, completing one orbit in about 11 days. Its diameter is estimated to be 89+-6 km. Typhon is the first known binary centaur, using an extended definition of a centaur as an object on a non-resonant (unstable) orbit with the perihelion inside the orbit of Neptune.
