About the typhoon that wasn't.

This is a quick post about typhoon Morakot and its impact on Shanghai. Basically, it was nonexistent as Shanghai lays way north of the main impact zone. Deadly in Taiwan and at Zhejiang and Fujian coast, it was weakened and disintegrated by the time it got into the vicinity of the city I currently reside in. Also I would like to praise Chinese authorities, which in this case showed a lot of competency and issued early warnings along potential zone of harm (all the way up to Shanghai). Little overreacting (warnings to keep windows shut were issued on Thursday) but anyway very organized and professional. Unfortunately, this made my first typhoon experience boring (same as my first riot experience in Xinjiang) to such an extent that I decided to seek out some adventure and get closer to action next time some storm decides to come ashore :) Enjoy!
