There were plenty of destruction from Typhoon Damray last night- the night of Supermoon. It rained very heavy with strong winds. Roads were flooded, trees uprooted, collapsed of some roads and so far 3 deaths were reported. Vietnam had the full brunt and so far 19 people reported died. On September 15 we had a bad storm with severe flooding and rainfall was recorded as 70mm, but last night it was recorded to be 315mm. The Ferry that plies between my Island and mainland was even washed to the road by the big waves and strong wind. Luckily, by some intuition, I cancelled a trip across to the mainland last night for a meeting because I could have been stranded by floods. Some low IQ people blamed the local Government about land clearing for building projects but this is Typhoon, even places with no developments going on were badly affected. Our Chief Minister had to plead with the Federal Government to send the Army to help. The amount of destruction was unprecedented. A friend who lives on the 14th Floor had his Apartment flooded because the force of the wind blew rain into his Unit through the gaps of his closed windows. He described one of his bedroom as a “river” flowing through. Yes, we can expect severe winters for Europe and USA this winter. And more Earthquakes and volcanic activities too. I had told people who know me to store up food and water ages ago and they argued back saying all sorts of things. I hope at least now they will recall my words. It is still not too late to prepare. Actually no one knows exactly who I AM over here but it is better this way. The pictures below are self- explanatory. OR NI TOR FOR.
