I just posted a picture of some of Kalmaegi’s handiwork near my house, close to the Taichung Sogo. I hope no one was hurt and I’d love to know what time it collapsed if anyone knows…

David – The area I’m in wasn’t in much trouble except for a few flooded streets. The rain mostly stopped by the late afternoon. A couple parents called a school I work in the evenings and said they wanted to have class, my boss then took it upon herself to call all the other parents to tell them we were having class. Naturally, I was the last person to be called. After all, why would you need to notify the teacher that class would be held? I used that irritating telephone conversation to request a day off [yes, on a typhoon day, don't I have a lot of nerve!] because of a cold I’ve had the last couple of days.
