Typhoon No.14

*Update2*
I guess I'm in the eye now.
It's been very calm for a while.....
**

*Update*
Fishes and Squids and Jellyfishes, etc are washed up on the roads......
I don't know to laugh or cry at the sight.
Sirens baring just now.
**

Doors and windows rattling violently.
Looking outside, bits of rubbish flying past.

A motorbike has overturned.
It was still upright and covered yesterday night.
I wonder how is my bicycle doing....

Winds are so strong, my friend's apartment is shaking.
I thought I felt mine shook a bit too..... (it could have been my imagination)
Several blackouts last night, for 1 second each, I would have been at a lost if the electricity didn't come back on.

There's only instant noodles at home now.
And rice of course. But nothing else.

Stuck at home since yesterday.
Nothing much to do except watch the news.

Planes, Ferries, Trains, Trams, Buses.
All modes of transportation have been paralyzed.

The path I walk to work everyday is flooded.

Reporters are really a different breed.
But I admire the firefighters, civil defense people more.
See them braving the elements saving old ladies, little children from their flooded homes.

Do you have a torch at home? Have come to think of it as a necessity in emergencies...
