From the 25th floor

A rare moment of calm in between the rain and wind of Wednesday's typhoon.

Up here on the 25th floor, it felt similar to an ongoing small earthquake...chandeliers swaying, scooter alarms outside blaring. Overall, not too scary, but definitely something I could live without.

Ty-whaaaa?

NZ and I both received this text on tonight:

"台风橙色预警:强台风海葵8月8-9日将严重影响我市,阵风10级,江河湖面11-12级,伴有暴雨到大暴雨,请注意防风防雨确保安全。[市气象局]"

Yeah, exactly.

What's up?

Copy. Paste. Bing translate.

"Typhoon Orange warning: strong typhoon anemones August 8-would seriously affect the city, gusts of 10 levels, rivers and Lake 11-12, accompanied by torrential rain to downpours note wind rain to ensure security. [City Meteorological Bureau]"

Oh, Typhoons.

That's what.

Go figure we both have plans tomorrow. Me and Sal, a playdate at the indoor park, and NZ has a train and flight to catch. We shall see what tomorrow brings!

***EDIT(8:57a)*** NZ's flight has been cancelled. He will postpone travel until next week. Sal and I, on the other hand, are still park bound. Keeping a child inside an apartment on a rainy day is just asking for trouble. So far, just heavy rain and wind, but nothing scary.
