DURING A TYPHOON 2

If the building starts to break up, protect yourself with mattresses, rugs or blankets under a strong table or bench or hold onto a solid fixture, e.g. a water pipe. Beware the calm 'eye'. If the wind drops, do not assume the typhoon is over; violent winds will soon resume from another direction. Wait for the official “all clear” If driving, stop (handbrake on and in gear) – but well away from the sea and clear of trees; power lines; and streams. Stay in the vehicle.
