Typhoon - Jangmi

New typhoon, Jangmi is gonna hit Tainan, Taiwan ETA 28th Sep (Sunday) afternoon time. This is gonna be the third typhoon I'll encounter. The typhoon occurrence frequency seems to be pretty high lately, where almost every week there's a typhoon alert. And that's not it, words that this will be the strongest typhoon Taiwan has ever encountered in the past few years.

As you can see, the eye of the typhoon is already on top of Taiwan at the time of posting (picture taken from Typhoon report). This will be accompanied by strong wind (I mean really STRONG wind!) and heavy rainfalls. Trees fly, roofs fly, people fly, pigs fly, everything gets wet and messy outside. And nobody wanna be outside that very moment. Who knows one might get hit by a flying cow. In short, it is really-very-extremely dangerous during typhoon storms.

Having experienced the previous two, I've stockpiled enough food for at least 1-2 days, just in case. Known that there's this poisoned milk powder (contaminated with melamine, causes kidney stones) crisis, I've got everything without milk powder. Though the Taiwanese health ministry has already cleared out the contaminated products, which means those on the racks now are safe to consume, I'd rather wait a lil longer. Tons of food products were affected, from biscuits, instant packed drinks, Taiwan famous pearl milk tea, breads and etc. Wtf...wtf...wft!

Assorted instant noodles & biscuits.

Come, you s.o.b. typhoon. I am ready. Muahaha...

Disclaimer: I won't complain too much if Monday is declared holiday though. *wink*


Updates: Monday, 29th Sep is now declared holiday (no need to work, yay!) since the storm is getting bigger with increasing wind velocity in Tainan county. The place will be on red alert until tomorrow late evening. Ah...get to camp for another day.
