Super Typhoon Talim hits Taiwan just days after Hurricane Katrina hits the USA
Super Typhoon Talim is just about ready to hit Taiwan. My family woke up to just a wonderful warm day today (8:00am). At around noon the government called a emergency and said business are to close at 4:00pm. I went to pick up Jasper at GymBaby (his learning center) at 2:00pm. It started raining hard around 1:00pm. Coming home with Jasper on my scooter was not a fun task. First off he hates to be under the plastic parka I wear to keep dry. However, as the rain and wind hit him he quickly found refuge under the parka. I normally drive the MinQuan Bridge at 80kph with Jasper. Today the wind was so strong nobody was going quicker than 25kph. I was going around 20kph and having trouble steering due to the wind. And this was just the very, very, very outskirts of the storm. Crazy enough at 3:00 the rain stopped. It is 5:00pm now and all is pretty calm.
