Very Strong Typhoon

Typhoon typhoon comes again, I went out with my friend Willy fully armored (in fact, raincoat and helmet) to recover ration and supplies.

It was the first time ever to walk in such strong wind and nearly blown away by it, I have to walk slanting. A pass-by hotchick took this brilliant moment to grab and hold onto me, how lucky and cunning of her.

The wind resistance is so strong, I could hardly walk steadily. I had to let my arms swing behind me, walking like an idiot, like Naruto characters. But in fact, it was a very good way to minimize the aerodynamics and helps you move forward easier, 10 years of curiosity explained at this moment.

We arrived at a local supermarket just to find it closed, we have to resort to heroic seven-eleven, with several people sheltering inside, and some food shelves are empty. Grab a few munchies and we're good to go.

Since the storm is too fierce, we have to find an alternative way to the keep the food safe. We find paths into dark, rattling alleyways, storm howling can be heard, hopefully there's no ambush awaits us.

We arrive home safely, and have to carry my other friend's god damn heavy and locked-scooter into safety, because the key is nowhere to be found.

The whole experience is awesome like 3rd person shooting games, but dangerous as well, cuz you never know there might be metal pieces falling from above and crush onto you, or slices your head off like Final Destination.

Today is a good good day, what a Formosa.
