00:30I heard that this is the biggest storm in the past 19 years.

00:37But I don't care.

00:39I used to be in the Navy.

00:41I used to sail on the sea.

00:44I used to deal with rain and wind every day.

00:47So today, I'm 84 years old.

00:49I came out to take a look.

01:00Actually, I didn't plan to go out today.

01:10Because the power in my house has been cut off.

01:13The room is very hot.

01:15Then I saw that the weather outside was a little better, so I came out.

01:20If you look at it now, you may feel better.

01:24At present, this area is not very serious.

01:27I don't know what will happen tonight or tomorrow.

01:30But I'm still worried.

01:32Because there is little material in the house.

01:34I'm afraid that we can't go out if the typhoon is big.

01:37And there is no food.

01:39So I think the weather is a little better now.

01:41Maybe I can go out and buy something.
