typhoon 23.... steel windows up again...

well..typhoon 23 hits Tokyo hard tonight.... the typhoons sure are scary... i never knew that it could cause so much destruction... the last typhoon like 2 weeks ago, left people homeless as their roofs were ripped off, people died from landslides, strong currents and dunno wat nots... to make things worse.. the typhoons create a shortage of food in the mountains, causing many bears to become desperately hungry enuf to come forage for food within the human settlements.. dun think they really mean to harm anyone but.... they are hungry bears.. sigh... my heart goes out to the lost lives, the lives which have been disrupted and the bears.... was watchin the news just now, apparently there was an house on a mountain which was swept off due to landslides... and there were people living in it... not sure if it was an isolated case.. a few people who were fixing stuff high above ground were oso killed as the strong winds caused them to fall to their demise.... sigh.... yet... at the disasters relief centres, where people go to take refuge during the typhoon.. u can sense a feeling of acceptance... guess it has been so much a part of their lifes.. u see old folks , some whose backs are bent and such, chatting, children playing in the refugee centres... guess.. wat doesnt kill u always make u stronger....
