Typhoons and Hurricanes

Hello, everyone! I hope everyone is keeping safe in this weather.

As everyone is aware, it`s now typhoon season here in Japan. Right now we`re experiencing our first typhoon of the season, and with it is lots of strong winds and and possibly heavy rain.

On the east coast of the US, we experience something similar to a typhoon around this year every year as well: hurricanes. Just like typhoons hurricanes bring lots of rain and strong winds. They often cause lots of damage all along the southern east coast, in particular along Florida, North and South Carolina, and Virginia. However, sometimes hurricanes can hit all the way up in New York.

In 2012 a particularly strong one named Hurricane Sandy hit the entire east coast including Canada. For NYC it caused major power outages and flooding. Many rail lines including the subway were closed, along with airports. Some areas even had to be evacuated because of the flooding.


Flooding in NYC`s subways.



Let`s hope this typhoon doesn`t get as bad as that! Keep safe everyone!
