Friday Five 14-Sept
Saturday, 15 September 2018 23:011. Have you ever experienced a hurricane firsthand?
Over here we know them as typhoons, we had a really bad one last year, typhoon Hato. As we speak, typhoon Mungkat (spelling?) is attacking my home as I write this, but I’m in Portugal right now, so I can’t do anything about it except wait for news.
2. Have you ever experienced outside heat over 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celcius)?
I think there was a couple times we had like 40C in the summer, but I hid in either homes or public spaces with air-conditioning so it was never too bad for me.
3. When and where was the coldest temperature you have ever experienced?
A couple years back I went on a tour to Harbin, in winter. -29C. Freezing! Then the bus driver even said the Russian girls in Moscow wore mini skirts in -60C. That’s crazy!
4. Is your household prepared for a possible power outage of two to seven days?
Yes I think we can hold fort for 7 days, but only necessities (food & water). Stuff like phones will die eventually by the second day as even the power banks will be depleted.
5. Do you have a go bag?
As I live up-hill, there was never a “need” to evacuate for things like flood and rainstorm. I actually think a go bag is a very good idea but have no idea how to make it practical. (I can’t just let a bottle of water sit there in a corner forever, or could I?)
