Flooding and damage from Typhoon Utor in the Phillipines. Utor went on to trash parts of China |
This week, deadly, scary Typhoon Utor hit that area of the world. (See the video at the bottom of this post)
Judging from the video, I certainly admire the apparently ambitious people of Zhapu going about their business and work and driving and such despite the typhoon trashing the place.
But really, flying sheet metal from disintegrating roofs will cut you to ribbons. (Relax, the video does not show people getting cut to ribbons or otherwise seriously hurt in the storm)
Also, the middle of a typhoon is not exactly a good time to go for a drive, take a stroll down a city sidewalk or hop on your motorcycle for a jaunt around town, as the video clearly demonstrates.
With hurricane season really winding up in the Atlantic Ocean and prospects of a busy season, chances are an American city could have scenes like this one out of Zhapu. Let's hope not.
