Batten Down the Hatches!

I survived my first typhoon: Typhoon 18 aka Typhoon Melor!!


A week of non-stop rain and turning up to work soaked in my suit was definitely not fun!
Last night seeing sandbags put out to protect a shop made me very nervous, but the typhoon passed over during the night, and the only sign by morning were endless bicycles on their sides and a lot of leaves and branches on the pavements!

Elsewhere schools were closed, airlines suspended and some trains were down for the day.
