一號風球

A typhoon is coming! Brace yourself, folks!
I remember the first time I heard the words "typhoon warning." I was just a kid, playing outside with my friends. The sky was blue, and the sun was shining. Suddenly, the wind started to pick up, and the clouds started to gather. Within minutes, the storm was upon us.
The wind howled like a banshee, and the rain came down in sheets. We ran for cover, but it was no use. The wind was so strong that it blew us off our feet. We huddled together under a tree, shivering and scared.
As the storm raged on, I thought about all the people who had been killed by typhoons in the past. I thought about the families who had lost their homes and their loved ones. I felt a sense of helplessness and despair.
But then, something happened. I looked up and saw a group of people standing on a hill, waving their arms and shouting. They were emergency responders, and they were there to help us.
We ran towards them, and they led us to a safe place. We were all wet and cold, but we were alive. We had survived the typhoon.
That was over 20 years ago, but I still remember that day like it was yesterday. I am grateful to the emergency responders who saved our lives, and I am grateful to be alive today.
Typhoons are a powerful force of nature, but they can also be a force for good. They can bring people together and remind us of the importance of community. They can also remind us of the importance of being prepared.
So, if you hear a typhoon warning, don't panic. Just be prepared. Make sure you have a plan in place, and make sure you have the supplies you need. And most importantly, stay safe.
Here are some tips for staying safe during a typhoon:

• Listen to the radio or TV for updates on the storm.
• Stay inside and away from windows.
• If you must go outside, wear a raincoat and boots.
• Do not drive through flooded areas.
• If you see a downed power line, stay away from it and call the electric company.
