What happens to you and 90% Fridays are awesome.

It's great to have you watching as we put this show together.

A super typhoon was whirling toward the nation of Japan.

It's called a super typhoon because it's especially powerful.

On Thursday, Hagibis was the equivalent of a Category five hurricane.

The strongest classifications, if it shifts direction, is forecasters expected to.

This storm could come very close to the Japanese capital of Tokyo on Saturday.

Meteorologists think it will have weakened by then, but Hagibis is on track to make landfall right near where Typhoon Fox I hit in September.

That storm reportedly killed three people and caused more than $7 billion in damage.

Supertyphoon Hagibis is expected to bring heavy rain too much of south central Japan near the coast.

Forecasters are concerned about a potentially large storm surge, a rise in sea water levels pushed ashore by a storm and Hagibis has already had an impact on the Rugby World Cup.

It's being held in Japan this year and some matches have been canceled as the storm approaches.

General Motors Theo Automotive company that makes Buick Cadillac Chevy.

The union, representing almost 50,000 workers, is negotiating with GM over issues like wages and profit sharing.

And a big hang up between the two sides is over production in Mexico.

GM has four factories there and 33 in the United States.

But the company's planning to close for US plants and the union wants production in Mexico shifted back to the U.

One industry expert says that would come at a heavy cost to GM.

The strike has been going on for 25 days.

Second trivia, The first known types have been traced back to what country China, India, Egypt or Australia.

Though the exact origin of the kite isn't known, historians believe they were first used in China.

They fly like the wind, but ken kites be used to gather electricity from it.

There are a number of companies experimenting with this idea.

It requires huge kites that fly high enough to catch the steady winds and our atmosphere and then transfer that energy back to Earth, their concerns about the amount of maintenance they need, the threat they could pose if they crash and what would happen in bad weather.

But if everything goes right, some of the world's strongest winds are found here, out on the ocean, where water is too deep for most offshore wind turbines.

But a company called Makani believes it has a solution with the new wind technology, inspired by a familiar child's toy.

You know, when you fly a kite in the park, it's being lifted by the wind, and you're holding on to it with the tether.

Once airborne, Makani ZX 85 foot long energy kite flies around autonomously, guided by computers.

Roeder's producing electricity that sent back to the ground through a tether, and it's carbon fiber frame makes a kite extremely lightweight.

Our energy kites air so lightweight we can install them in deep water on floating platforms, and that means they can capture wins much further off shore, where other turbines can't.

Last month in Norway, Makani successfully completed its first deep water offshore flight, but their kites won't be ready for market for several years.

If your system is widely adopted, what kind of impact do you think it could potentially make their many areas around the world that really don't have a good resource for renewable power but do have offshore wind resource and so are lightweight kites.

Create the possibility that we could tap that resource very economically and bring renewable power to hundreds of millions of people.
