Observation and Reflection from a Typhoon


Observation and Reflection from a Typhoon
 
  Everybody love extra holiday ,right ? Haha. When typhoon signal no. 10 was hoisted
on 24th July , I speculated it would have a day off on the next day , luckily I'm right otherwise I will late to school ,coz it was so noisy on the night of 24th July and I couldn't sleep well.

I'm glad that I can have a extra holiday , it can help me to have a rest and watch the TV show which I'm interested in and I haven't watched yet^^

I know because of the typhoon, it would cause a load of problems ,for example broke glass as the tree came tumbling down ,some traffic jam etc. Surprisingly , one the next day there are not a lot of these accidents ,but there are lots of punishing voices.
Because of the typhoon , hundreds of passengers had to spend the night on trains or in station halls .It's to ensure commuters' safety ,so the railway operator halted commuter-loaded trains , no one would expect that MTR would be criticize.

In my opinion , I think it's a bit shame of Hong Kong citizens , coz in the mind of people overseas , they think Hong Kong citizens are smart , they know what they were doing ,but in this time , the commuters just want to back home as fast as possible .If I were them, of course , I want to back home too , but I think the commuters' safety is the most important.Is it the operator continued to drive and it cause some fatal accidents , the commuters will wake ?

After this typhoon ,I'm proud of the staff of the MTR also, coz although they face a difficult weather and the punishing voice of the commuters , they just do their best and say sorry to those commuters but they haven't done any wrong. Being a Hong Kong citizens, I'm thanking those staff who need to work when Typhoon Vicente battered the city.:)
