Signals

Yesterday the typhoon signal went up to signal 9. There was a significant increase in the strength of the wind compared to the previous signal 8 typhoon.

Almost EVERYTHING was close on the streets and I was so so afraid I am going to starve to death. Luckily Macdonalds and KFC were open. And after a stroll around the neighbourhood to look for more alternatives and to enjoy the wind, I found that they were the only eateries opened. So I had Macdonalds for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

My boss decided to close the shop too after I worked for one hour.

And with such a big wind, anything can fall from any building. The streets were quiet. No vehicles and very little people. A scaffolding collasped near my house and hit the building's windows. Roads were closed and pieces of glass were on the floor.

I better stock up some cup noodles before a bigger one strikes next time.
