Dear Peter,
Thanks for your concerns for us. Here is something you want to know.
On the afternoon of October 4, 2015, a most powerful typhoon, with extremely strong winds and heavy downpours in its core, crashed into our city.
The typhoon took the worst possible course in the city centre, leaving a trail of severe damage in its path. Thousands of residents fled to safety, for not only did it cause flooding, but it also collapsed trees, cutting off powers and water supplies. Even some people got injured by falling trees, broken rooftops and glass. As it is estimated, the disaster has caused huge economic losses, especially in city forestry as well as facilities, though it didn’t claimed lives.
Luckily, after the disaster, thousands of people and soldiers spared no effort at the relief and reconstruction work. Soon our city began to breathe again and everything returned to normal.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Li Hua
