-pg97- Tale #62 Typhoon -pg98- Radio Uhhh... Welcome to the area just above the approximate center of the "Meihow" typhoon! We're the Hanamatsu "Weather attack!" Broadcasting everywhere with the lastest in typhoon information! -pg99- Radio Uhhh... We're dropping instruments that send back that information! The current atmospheric pressure at the center is 905hPa...and of course, the strongest winds are near the center. -pg100- Alpha A typhoon was coming... I prepared the house as usual. I put on the sliding storm doors. I was only a little nervous as evening approaches. In the evening, Ojisan arrived in the car. "Just to be sure," he said, "bring only your most important possessions and something to sleep in." So that's what I did. -pg101- Alpha Saying he was "gonna check out the others" he drove off home. A little while later, the storm hit. The wind sounded like it was tearing the earth apart. The sounds of rain and flying gravel came in waves. -pg102- Alpha Morning.... Radio Meihow gradually dying down... -pg103- Alpha It seems the typhoon is still hanging over the area. ...... I wonder how much longer I'll be listening to the sound of wind whipping around concrete. It's making me feel uneasy. .....I wonder if Ojisan's okay. He seems to know a lot about typhoons, so I suppose I shouldn't worry. -pg104- Alpha Oh yeah...I wonder how my house is doing. I hope the shop's glass isn't in too much danger... Aah! I think I nailed all the storm doors to the main wing of the house! Eek! The sign for the shop! I left it out! When Ojisan came to get me I was only able to grab a few cloths, the camera, the gun, and the Moon Harp. And of course this radio... -pg105- Alpha That's just like Ojisan... I'm sure he thought it was a good idea to take shelter here. The wind blows here on high ground too, but it may be even more intense down by the sea. Ah....I feel like something's wrong... Hurry up and stop already.... -pg106- Alpha ! -pg108- Radio From the Shounan lake, since it hit land the typhoon has slammed into every field. It hit everything from Ibaraki to Kashima-nada. Uhhh...despite this our team has managed to... -pg112- Tale #62: Closing
