In Korea, we can usually watch news about flood. However, I've never experienced any horrible disaster, so I don't really get scared. Of course, I feel pity of disaster victims when I see a news about them. Since I was born, I have lived in Busan but never lived near the beach. There were no tsunami. However, every summer, typhoon come to Busan. It's not harsh as much as foreign news's disasters, but still strong wind and heavy rain attacked people. When I was in elementary school, a big typhoon came to Busan, a name was Memi. It hit the whole city very hard. At first, I didn't consider it seriously and I thought it just annual general typhoon. However, windows started to shaking. It became worse and worse then the body of a apartment started to shake. I knew that buildings can shake, and it protects from break. However, I was scared when the apartment was shaking like a swing. I was living at the top of a apartment, so the movements were the worst. Also, I thought it could be collapsed like a wooden chopsticks by shaking. Suddenly, all the lights in the city went out, and I experienced real darkness. I was really surprised, and I couldn't control my emotion. I made a little fuss, and I expected my parents would be worried about me and tried to make me calm down. However, they got angry and scolded me because they thought I was old enough, but I didn't keep calm and acted like a child. Actually, I was a child, but after that I regained my composure quickly. I was little embarrassed, but I understood it was emergency. I could hear other houses' windows were breaking by wind, and the lights didn't work. It took a long time to be finished, and my family had to sleep at center of living room all together for being away from windows.
Scary!!
