Another Typhoon Day

In my opinion,Taipei City Mayor Ko made the right decision to take this day as another typhoon day, even though the typhoon had blown by.

I think I should write a letter to commend him on his decision.

Here are the reasons why:

Many households had no water starting at 4pm yesterday afternoon. Our household was one of those. We had stored water, so it was not a major problem. But this morning, we could not take a shower or wash our hands. So, if we had to go to work, it would have been a little weird. Plus, the schools might have been without water.

By having less people on the roads, it really helped with the clean-up efforts. Trucks were blocking lanes as they had to remove a tremendous amount of debris and branches. They were also parked along roads to cut off hanging branches. It would have been quite dangerous having pedestrians walking around while they were trying to do this.

People were able to be more relaxed in cleaning their own home without having to worry about going to work.

Overall, it was a great decision!

I had to tutor but the kids and Alan had a day to play some tennis and do some homework.
