Observation and Reflection from a Typhoon


Typhoon Vicente attacks Hong Kong in the end of July. This typhoon is very powerful. This was my first saw Typhoon signal No. 10.  So horrible!!!  In typhoon eve, I and my friend went to HKCEC. Because there held Book Fair. We planned long time. Lastly, Vicente disturb our planned. On that day, we line up to wait to join Book Fair in footbridge. At that moment, I can know Vicente the power. I feel rain play in my face and storm wind made people hard to move. Finally, we can safe arrival to Book Fair at 4 p.m. And very lucky, we catch up to bought an admission ticket. In the reason is we bought an admission ticket shortly, the Organizers announced that they will stop sold admission tickets. But they after that announced that they will early to close the Book Fair at 6 pm. So we had only 2 hours visit Book Fair. Lastly obey organizers and police the direction left for HKCEC. At that moment is more people left for HKCEC or got off work. So that, Wan Chai MTR Station is very crowded. We use more than 1hour to take MTR. When I return to home, it was so windy. Fortunately, I can safe went home. Another, I worry my father, because he went to Main China to work. And that day will come back. But when I watched the news on the TV at night, more transport will stop include train and MTR. My father almost stranded in stations overnight. Fortunately, He can safe went home also. In fact, I can understand MTR Corporation why stop service. The reason is ensure every passenger is safety. And they need make sure staff will not harm. We can not only think own interests. And actually they stood in stations safer than went back to home.
