Another video shows more footage of the scene, and how many places will remain uninhabitable for ‘months’  [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UJW84Fqhgw]

Remember, this storm is not done destroying yet. It’s moving to Vietnam where there are already intense evacuations taking place before the hell approaches..

The leaky spout of news never stops.. Even on Saturday mornings..

Another horrible report coming from the Philippines as a claim is made that up to 1,000 bodies are floating dead in one town alone..

Heads up!! A 2,000 pound satellite is going to fall to earth–somewhere..

Food that boost your metabolism naturally.. Almonds, yogurt..broccoli, and apples..

This is just the beginning of what will be a horrific death toll in the wake of Superstorm Haiyan.. CNN reports this late tonight:

More than 100 people were killed in a Philippine city that took the brunt of Super Typhoon Haiyan, authorities said.

That death toll in Tacloban was the first significant casualty report in a day when authorities began surveying the devastation of a typhoon described as perhaps the strongest storm to make landfall in recorded history, with 195 mph winds and gusts of 235 mph.

Even more, there are reportedly more than just these hundreds bodies on the streets of Tacloban..

Other areas just off due to power failures will most likely have the same grim results..

The Philippine Coast Guard says 3,398 people stranded sea on multiple watercraft–another part will be harrowing rescues, often with success, and failure..

The storm is now onto Vietnam…

Here are the theater counts for this weekend’s box office..

THOR: THE DARK WORLD, 3841 THEATERS..
LAST VEGAS adds 17 more ..
ABOUT TIME adds another 1025..
12 YEARS A SLAVE up 734 more..

FREE BIRDS AND ENDERS GAMES stays the same..

Competition is rough.. but with THOR being released on almost 4,000 screens–and being the only film with a wide release this week, it’s a shoe-in for victory in the money game..

Reviews for THOR have been less than superb, though, with CNN saying it’s far from being a great superhero movie, WIRED pointing out some imperfections,  and the ATLANTIC says it has lightweight charm..

But even with all that , THOR raked in $7.1 mil with early showings Thursday night, according to DISNEY..
The question really is: Does it have staying power to last two weeks?
