Typhoons

Do you live in an area in the world which is subject to typhoons? In Wiktionary.com you can get a definition of what a typhoon is.

I'm lucky where I live: no earthquakes, no typhoons, no tornadoes...but we do get blizzards, chinook winds, and rapidly plummeting temperatures.

I do love it that we have virtually no poisonous spiders, few poisonous snakes (we do have rattle snakes), no lions, no tigers. But we do have bears.

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

Sorry, I just had to throw that in there (from the Wizard of Oz).

The reason I started this post is because a friend of mine lives in an area which was just hit by a typhoon and while his house has no damage, the flu has rapidly spread through the population partly because of contaminated drinking water.

Oh,,,how blessed I am, and I do really appreciate it.
