Last night and this morning we experienced a typhoon! Our little house was shaking from the terribly strong gusts of wind and the rain mixed with sand from the beach was slashing against our windows. We had closed our shutters which are made from iron which increased the sound of the rain hitting the shutters.
But hearing the rain falling on the roof top is a soothing sound and we slept well.
This picture in taken in the morning when actually the very strong gusts of wind started.
Watch the YOU TUBE Movie from the typhoon! Beautiful high waves!
Then the weather started to clear up and the sun came out. I went outside, but there was still too much sand in the wind, which was hitting my face. I had to put a hand before my eyes. And the police was standing on the road near the beach to prevent people to go on the beach. It was still too dangerous and the water very close to the wall of the street. So, I went inside again.
Around 4 o’clock we were able to go outside. The wind had weakened and we could walk on the beach.
There was lots of debris and trash on the beach like big pieces of wood, trees and branches, bottles and crates etc.
This is the passage way under the road we go through to go to the beach. The waves had come all the way and had deposited a big concrete block and even a bathtub. I normally can walk straight through the tunnel, but now I had to duck. It was completely filled with dirt, trash and sand.
Also, a little farther on the road the waves had deposited a lot of sand on the road and the fence was completely broken.
What a force nature can be!
