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 more than thirty years.
It began to rain early 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. It is safer for a big ship to be at sea in a typhoon because then it cannot be blown onto rocks. The airport closed. No planes were able to take off or land. At 9:00 in the evening, all lights went out.
No one slept well that night. It is difficult to sleep in such bad weather.
In Typhoon Rose, more than one hundred people died. 229 people were injured(受伤) and 66 of these had to go to hospital. 1500 people lost their homes. The people of Hong Kong will not quickly forget Typhoon Rose!
