Typhoon Morakot
By Max
Typhoon Morakot is a very strong typhoon, even after the typhoon leaves; many places still have serious disasters. This typhoon is the strongest typhoon for the past few years!
Typhoon Morakot caused a lot of floods, some are more than a story high; ruined many farms and ruined many crops and let many domestic animals die. At this typhoon, there are many bridges broken and damaged the highway and the south-bound railroad! It may take a few days to a few months to rebuild it. Many buildings were destroyed, there is even a hotel and a 3 story building fell in the rivers! Many homes had a power failure, but almost every home’s electric power is been fixed. Many mudslides happened and it let the water more dirty. Some places stopped water supply because the water is so dirty. At this typhoon, some places rained non-stop for three days and flooded. We lost about 9 thousand million in vegetables and fruits, and lost 1,500 million in fish. I think the typhoon is very horrible because it let many people die, hurt and missing.
Many people drove rubber boats, water motorcycles and armor cars to save people from floods. Also, they drove helicopters to save people stuck in high mountains. Our people who are saving people did it very well and saved many people. But some people died too.
Typhoon Morakot is the worst disaster in 50 years, and it caused many damage. God bless us don’t die, and don’t happen any disasters as worse as this.
