Typhoon Krosa






We started feeling the wind and the rain late Friday night. Early Saturday morning, it started raining hard but Bill was still about to go out to rescue Dorion's plants. After he came back 'round noon, however, Krosa really hit and this is what we saw and heard all day yesterday.




Some trees and sign posts were broken, and a number of people were injured on the road (makes one wonder what they were doing out and about on a typhoon day). Ben's place had a small flood and the electricity went out. A stream of water came in from the patio ('cause the drain was clogged), but it wasn't a big deal. Bill and I are very experienced and skillful now, thanks to what we had to deal with in our previous apartment.

It's Sunday here today and everything had calmed down. We're about to venture out for some brunch and to see what the city looks like after a big storm.

  2. Hey Kate--
    Glad you survived the typhoon. It was cool to be able to listen to what one was like. Sorry I wasn't able to call you this weekend after all with my mommy here and all. We will catch up soon, though!
    love, me
