October 6, 2007 - Jingmei River, under the Beixin Road Bridge during Typhoon Krosa. You just have to trust me that the water level is usually much lower. Within a half hour, the place I was standing was under water, as was most of the low-lying green across the river. I like going for walks during typhoons. I just dress like I'm going swimming and head out, leaving the umbrella at home.

the 2nd and 3rd to last F1 races were in japan and china, during those crazy storms/typhoon! it was insane that they still raced in the pouring rain, but it was so exciting!! was it cold when you went out?? i think it would be fun as long as it wasn't too cold. :)
It wasn't cold at all, Taipei being near tropical. I was out in shorts and sandals and a raincoat.
yea, those race car drivers aren't wusses like cyclists. If the Tour de France took place in a typhoon zone, bet they wouldn't be riding through one. Then again, I don't know about Lance Armstrong.
