Typhoon Nabi 14

waiting for mighty strong number fourteen - katrina on my mind September 05 dead tired - the typhoon left a row of destruction September 07 We are all well and unharmed.

Will be busy cleaning up for a while, though! fallen leaves fallen fruit and fallen hopes September 08 we have plenty of fallen leaves, apples, pears and other fruit from the last typhoon. The rice harvest is also badly damaged and flat in the fields. Read on : Green Apples
