Slow Moving Typhoon


It rained all day long today. Typhoon Shanshan is moving slowly over western Japan. Its speed is only 10 kilometers or 6.3 miles per hour. Shanshan is still located 900 kilometers far away from the area I live, but it has been continuously bringing thick rain clouds even here.

  1. Dearest RTC,
    Hope it moves out before doing any damage.
    Remembering my role as chaperone and for bringing my 6 students home a day early from Japan on July 14, 2007 because of a typhoon...
    Hugs,

  5. Rain is good for nature. It's not nice if the rain continues for several days.

  10. Hello rtc, This is a timely post as I am about to return to typhoon and rain territory. Long periods of rain and wind are gloomy indeed, but at least Taipei usually does not bear the brunt of the storms, as do many coastal cities. 但是颱風季節, 天氣又悶又陰沉.
