 | Typhoon Jelawat to land on S. China Source:Xinhua 2006-06-28 The Guangzhou central observatory said here on Tuesday that the typhoon Jelawat, number two this year, will land on south China on Wednesday night or Thursday morning. As of 2:00 p.m. Tuesday, the center of Jelawat was located at 17.1 north latitude and 115.1 east longitude, which was about 600 kilometers southeast to the city of Yangjiang in Guangdong Province. The top wind speed near the center is 18 meters per second and it is moving northwestward at the speed of 15 to 20 kilometers per hour. The observatory said Jelawat might land on east Hainan or west Guangdong from Wednesday night to Thursday morning. The typhoon is expected to bring rainfalls to the areas, which will ease the week-long high temperature in Guangdong. Stay safe! |

| Quite fun? haha, if you have met it, I think you will not say like this. Cali, maybe I can reply you. I remembered typhoon landed from Hainan last Sep. Can't remember the name of it. It seems it's Yun Na. I remembered it was evening, because of the typhoon, the power was off. So many trees was blown down by typhoon. No electricity, so so many people went out. Some of them even were no supper, such as me. Can you imagine? My friends and I found so many restaurants, but nothing can eat. Most of them even shutted. All bread shops had sold out its bread and cakes. For supermarket, the most popular food is instant pasta. People looked like be crazy, they bought so many things, just like all of them were free. oh...don't want to experience again. |

| Yes, I experienced typhoon a few times. Never a direct hit but I experienced typhoon reaching no.8 rating (10 being the highest - in HK). It was exciting with everyone rushing home from wherever they are - but normally some early warning would have been given and most were ready and expecting. We even drove out all over the island just to get a feel of it and there was hardly any traffic on the roads. Wind was strong & obviously quite dangerous. But it was quite fun - HK was so quiet in the daytime for a welcome change. |

| I have lived through many Hurricanes in Florida and I was lucky to be in China when Katrina hit the US.I only went through one Typhoon when I was in Shenzhen and it was not that bad.Common sense,a little planning and you will be OK. |
