You Can Never Really Be Sure
I started tracking this typhoon late. I would be interested to see the jet stream and satellite video leading up to it. It did go slightly North of Hong Kong and very close to those sinkholes. It also looks like it is dissipating fairly quickly, which, according to my model, our atmosphere cannot hold a disturbance like that together and maintain the condensing power without those entangled strings along the eyewalls, ionizing oxygen to form water vapor as well as vacuum condensing. Once they pass below Earth at the location of the sinkholes, the atmospheric disturbance should unwind quickly, although seismic activity and telluric currents may remain below ground for awhile as the strings continue to decohere below ground. I sense that my theory is correct, we just need to detect the particle strings now with a sensor package. We should then practice on waterspouts and see how we can break these things up/untangle them before they strike land.
Godspeed
Dark Matters a Lot 
I am certain that the weather is manipulated using the Nexrad Towers, manipulating the jet stream with Haarp Satellites, directing the air currents to take the man-made weather catastrophes where they will. WE have to take control of this Planet to serve ALL of Humanity; so we can live in Peace, Love and Respectful co-operation with Nature, and each Other!
Onwards to Peace!
Tom,
I think you are giving goverments too much blame We are infants in understanding the universe and its connections. Just because we can’t explain weather phenomena does not mean some government conspired to make it happen or even that it was an “act of God”. I still believe a primary role of government is to protect its people and and given the right science it can do that better.
My concern is that unknowingly some of these electromagnetic devices are disturbing our quantum field and influencing the weather and that might be bad for biology, very bad in certain areas.
Thanks for reading.
