I was awakened Sept. 27 by the sound of strong winds buffeting my apartment building. I walked into my living room and saw the familiar darkness of typhoon weather.
Some of the rain had made its way through the sliding door in the living room. Rain and wind from a certain angle can cause leaking issues at my place. Fortunately this doesn’t happen often, but Typhoon Pedring turned out to be the “perfect” strength and direction to ruin my day. My power went out and I spent most of the morning cleaning up rainwater as it flowed into my home. Pedring was a nuisance but my property wasn’t seriously damaged.
The winds weakened by early afternoon. I decided to go over to the mall to get something to eat. I was surprised at the level of flooding I saw outside.
I guess I didn’t realize just how much rain had been dumped on the city streets.
I took a few videos/pictures and posted them on my Facebook “fan” page, Facebook.com/KuyaKevin.
