Mini Typhoon
This morning, I experienced a mini typhoon at me ex-cello teacher's 4th-floor apartment.
I was doing piano accompaniment for her student, when we felt huge gushes of wind. The windows and her main door were opened and things in her kitchen and sitting-room started to fall to the floor. Her main door nearly slammed shut. When I helped her student close the door, it felt as if the door was being sucked from outside. Even when we closed everything, we could still hear the howls of the wind and the trees outside swayed so violently that they looked as if they were going to be uprooted. It was quite scary. My teacher said it happens quite often in her area.
Fortunately, after about 10 mins, the wind died down and everything went back to normal. My sandles were outside her apartment, and I was very relieved that they were still there. For a while, I was afriad that I might have to go home bare-footed!
