Fricken Typhoon
I say this in the most calm sense possible. I finished freaking out over the fear of drowning in rain or being blown away last night when the typhoon finally ended.
I know it might be pathetic, but I was scared out of my mind. When my boss asked me to go to work yesterday morning I stared at her like she was insane until she agreed that, oh, maybe we SHOULDN'T go outside when the wind was kicking the crap out of everything out the doors.
The two days I had off this week were used for important things. Resting and writing lesson plans.
You have no idea how happy I was for my mini vacation. Sweet, sweet vacation.
We drove up to the mountains halfway through the storm, which scared the living daylights out of me. I wound up dizzy halfway up, but I don't know why...
Everything was.. quite broken. Signs lay everywhere, the street was littered with different articles from different yards, trees were down EVERYWHERE.. It totally blew my mind.
For anyone who lived in Ontario when it happened, it kinda reminded me of Ice Storm 98, but without all the snow and ice and.. more rain and flooding.
Ah.. sorry to complain so much.
Many people are injured as a result of all of this. It's worse in areas outside of Taichung County, where the floodwaters have reached to waistlength or worse, and many people have died. They had to airlift many people from their homes, and a lot of buildings were destroyed.
They're calling this the worst storm Taiwan has seen in five years.
And I was here to see it.
Somehow I know I'll be bragging about this later, and I feel kinda bad for it.
-photos will be updated soon. I have many of my class, but very few of the typhoon aftermath. My camera batteries died the day it happened.
I know, pretty lame, eh?-
Thats all for now,
-Christine
