Typhoon Haishen is almost gone

It was a night I've never experienced before. From around midnight, Typhoon Haishen pounded us with heavy rainfall and violent winds up to 200 kph. It eased at about 7 am this morning. The wind is still quite strong (80 kph) but the rain has stopped.
The area closest to us, a few km away was hit by power failure and some houses were damaged. There was no landslide or flood occurring near us, as far as I know.
We had some relatives staying with us overnight. Their house is very old and could collapsed in the face of the terrifying typhoon. They will be making their way home in the evening as soon as the wind stop pounding.
I would like to thank God for protecting us and also to those who have prayed for our safety.

The typhoon that saved the Japanese from Kublai Khan's invading fleet, was to them Kami Kaze...God's wind. Today's God's wind can be very destructive, favouring no one in it's path.
