Typhoons 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 one of the f typhoons to hit Hong Kong in ten years.
It began o the morning of Monday, August 16th, 1971. At ten o'clock, Typhoon Rose was still 130 miles away but already the wind was blowing people's umbrellas away. It b stronger and stronger. The typhoon shelters were soon full of boats. Some very big ships went out to sea b it was safe for them to be at sea in a typhoon. Kai Tak Airport closed. No p could take off or land.
In Typhoon Rose, many people died and lost their homes. The people of Hong Kong will not quickly forget Typhoon Rose!
