We have typhoon here, it keeps raining heavily. The wind is so strong that can blow down trees. All the doors and windows are closed, people can not go out in such bad weather.

Every year in summer, Fujian province and Taiwan province will suffer the typhoon. We have typhoon season here. Typhoon will cost a big damage every year. Typhoon will also bring flood, mudslide.

I hope this typhoon can past soon.

Makes me wonder why us Brits complain about the weather. We don't get it bad at all really.

Hope you are safely indoors Cassie.

Brent, excuter, adam and bill,

 thank you very much! I am safe now, don't worry. The typhoon had gone now. This typhoon 凤凰“bird of wonder”was so strong that those heavy rain and wind broke the peaceful night in this seaside village. The noise woke me up off and on during the nights.  It lasts about  three days. It was terrible that the electricity system was damaged in the past three days. We lost the electricity power off and on. Yesterday, we had spent a whole day without it.  It has been a long time that I spend a  night without electricity.  But I still had fun with my cousin's kids. We lighted a candle and I made some shadows on the wall, they thought that was fun and interesting.^_^I am happy that we finally got the power back.  I will left my hometown(it is a village)  in  four days and back to my home.
