As some of you might already know, Japan has been hit by a typhoon this weekend. The typhoon travelled from east to west on the pacific ocean, hit kyushu, the southern most main japanese island (ie: excluding okinawa), causing a train to fall on the side and killing three people. Then it travelled north into Japan see and stayed away enough from Japan to not cause anymore trouble. but how strong was the wind, crazy. definitely my first time watching something like this. I don't know how much time I spent looking through the window at the wind and the clouds going. You know sometimes you can see clouds moving and you can predict in which directions they are going? well, that night you definitely did not need to be a psychik. The clouds were going FAST. it was very impressive.
later on in the weekend we started installing poles on top of furnitures. the pole goes from the top of the furniture and touch the ceil. It prevents furniture from falling down during earthquakes. never saw one of those either before. clearly, Japan as way more natural catastrophe than Canada. I know nobody likes it, but I'm excited to see everything.
And after seeing what Japan did over the past years to recover catastrophe, I think we should all get more of those, remember how week we are and how strong we need to hold on to each other.
