This morning, San Francisco's first storm arrived with winds up to 70 mph. I know, 70 mph is nothing compared to the winds in East Asia's typhoons but we don't get this kind of strong winds. It's pouring right now as I'm typing up this blog. Around this time of the year, what's normal for us is normal rain not a storm. It has been only a couple of hours into the storm and we already had flash flood warnings and power outages in some areas. Our storm today is fueled by

Some experts said that a more deadly super typhoon is very likely to be in the horizon in East Asia. Wow, a super typhoon...it's such a scary thought. The recent typhoons already caused so much devastations, imagine what a super typhoon would do. Up until now, I didn't think typhoons would have any impact in my area until this morning when I learned that our storm was from the remnants of a typhoon. To make matters worse, San Francisco is expected to have a big earthquake within 30 years with some experts saying that we are overdue for the next big one. Anything can happen to us, a tsunami, an earthquake, or tropical storm. Of the three, I fear tsunami the most because for one, I do not know how to swim, and two, there's no place to run or hide when it comes. At least with an earthquake, you can take cover to somewhat protect yourself. I use "somewhat" because I've lived through the 1989 earthquake and saw collasped highways, bridges, and homes. No where is safe in an event of a strong earthquake.
