Typhoons occur every year. How powerful is the typhoon itself?
When the level of a typhoon continues to increase and reaches a high-level super typhoon, its power will be devastating. Such a typhoon has the power to move wind and rain and overwhelm mountains and seas. According to relevant research, a mature typhoon drops 20 billion tons of rain in 24 hours. The rainwater produced by the condensation of water vapor releases a large amount of heat when it condenses. The average heat released per second is equivalent to 6 Hiroshima atomic bombs. The heat released in one day is converted into electrical energy that can be used by the entire United States for half a year. You can imagine how powerful the typhoon is.
Sometimes even if defensive measures are taken in advance, it is still possible to cause unpredictable losses due to changes in the direction of the typhoon. Every typhoon comes, from weak to strong. Therefore, people need to always pay attention to the weather forecast. When the weather forecast warning level increases, they must follow the arrangements of the relevant departments and take defensive measures accordingly to protect themselves. and family’s personal safety and property safety.

The strongest typhoon I have ever experienced was Mangkhut in 2018. Although my city is not a coastal city, it is adjacent to a coastal city and the impact was severe. At that time, schools were closed and companies were on vacation. Everyone was at home, with doors and windows sealed and safety tapes on. I remember that the typhoon blew the doors and windows loudly for several days, and I couldn't sleep well. I was always worried that the windows would break. Fortunately, we survived safely in the end. Those coastal cities were in dire straits. Because they had arranged for evacuation in advance, there were relatively few casualties, but their residences were damaged beyond repair and suffered heavy losses.
