Typhoons(台风) in the northern part of the world have girls’ names. Sometimes they have very beautiful names. Rose is a pretty name but there was nothing pretty about Typhoon Rose.It was the worst typhoon to hit Hong Kong in ten years.
It began to rain on the morning of Monday, August 16th, 1971. At ten o’clock in the morning, Typhoon Rose was still 130 miles away but already the wind was blowing people’s umbrellas away. The wind became stronger and stronger. The typhoon shelters(避风港) were soon full of boats. Ships that were too big to go inside the shelters put down more anchors(锚)。 Some very big ships went out to sea.

At 9：00 in the evening, all the lights went out.
No one slept well that night. It is difficult to sleep in such bad weather.
