Typhoon!

Today it was a bank holiday in Japan and there was also a typhoon. The wind speed reached up to 40m/sec (90mph) and it was very rainy.
The wind woke us up because the wind was howling a lot. The trees with thin trunks nearly fell over. The house was very hot because we had extra thick shutters on the windows.

Normally the river is very calm and clear water but today the water level raised up 2m high and it was very rapid and brown.

We were bored because we couldn't go out and TV was mostly news about the typhoon. But we were kind of excited too, because it doesn't happen that often and it was the first time we have been in a proper typhoon.
