Jangmi

Typhoon Jangmi, the fourth typhoon to hit Taiwan this year, recently passed. I just wanted to let everyone know I am ok. Since Chiayi is protected by the mountains, I normally do not have to worry about the effects of typhoons. The wind was very strong according to some reports up to 140 mph. I stayed inside most of the night waiting out the storm watching movies and reading.  I guess the power went out for an hour during the night, but I didn’t notice anything of that sort. This morning I took pictures around campus. There wasn’t much destruction: a few branches down and one gazebo was destroyed. All in all the most powerful typhoon of the year wasn’t so bad. We did have a day off school though. That was a plus.
