After reading the following article of this netizen, I was impressed and recommended it to everyone.
Former Xiamen University-Typhoon
Xiamen is near the sea.
Therefore, those who stay in Xiamen University must cope with the typhoon.
However, I seem to be a little happy. There is only one typhoon in my memory that can make people excited-that is 1999, the once-in-a-decade typhoon.
However, this statement is not entirely correct-I have long been instilled with the concept of how terrible typhoons are by my classmates. The classmate said that you went home during the summer vacation and I stayed here. The typhoon is coming. It's horrible. The wind is blowing hard, and the rain as big as peas hits the closed doors and windows, which makes people feel scared ... Click, a big tree outside breaks off a part that originally belonged to it ... Click-then crash, the window is swept open by the wind, and the dormitory immediately becomes Wang Yang-you know. He finally asked. I said, I haven't experienced it, I don't know-but now I know more about how broken hibiscus is. He smiled, you go and see other buildings, new and old-almost the same, this is a gift from the typhoon. ...
Finally, the day came when I faced the typhoon-I have been in Xiamen for so many years, and I have never experienced it once. Isn't it shameful? I remember clearly that it was 1999165438 on the evening of October 8th-I never wrote a diary, and I was so impressed because I did an experiment that day and got the so-called result for the first time in my life, so I was very excited. Didn't eat dinner, continued, "hiding in the hut to form unity, regardless of typhoon and rainstorm." After eight o'clock, I was finally hungry, and there was no further good picture, so I wanted to go back-I wanted to go out, and my boss called me: "The weather forecast said there would be a big typhoon, and all the doors and windows should be closed ..."
Out of the chemistry building, it hasn't started to rain yet, but the wind is already very strong, which makes people feel a step back-this damn weather, I scolded, tightened my thin clothes, and called Yu Yong to run to Wanjia Supermarket. Bought a lot of things, food and drink. The cleverest thing is that I didn't know my brain was short-circuited, so I bought two sets of poker and wanted to go back to play. Then I went back to the dormitory, and everyone came back-it was said that the weather outside was unbearable, so I had to come back to add clothes and get into bed-and then I cooked a pack of instant noodles and played cards while eating-which was another wise decision, ensuring that I left a lot of rations to eat when I couldn't go out the next day.
I have nothing to say all night. But it wasn't safe the next morning. Everyone was woken up before six o'clock. The terrible situation outside makes us feel like a small sunken ship in the Wang Yang. It is teetering, and it may be destroyed at any moment ... Power and water are cut off, but Xiamen and Guangzhou can still hear it, and our mood fluctuates with the radio waves, and we are uneasy-is the typhoon going to land in Xiamen? No, it's just an edge ball, okay? Someone died in Lianban? We huddled helplessly in the dormitory and continued to play cards through the dark sky. ...
In the evening, the storm finally subsided. Go out to eat in the canteen, as crowded as rice. There are fallen trees everywhere on the road, and even the big banyan tree in Sancun has not been spared. Out of Baicheng to the seaside, I took a casual look. It seems that the sea has not changed much. As Lin Zexu said, tolerance is great. I bought a can of eight-treasure porridge for five yuan, and I understood what market rules are. When I came out, I saw that the telephone poles had fallen down a lot, so I looked for candles everywhere to buy them. So I swam across the "pond" of the new school gate, tripped over a fallen tree in front of Windsor Town, and squeezed out a smelly sweat in Wanjia-it's a pity that I couldn't take a shower, which was probably the dirtiest time in my life, alas ... ...
When the phone was connected, I first reported my safety to my family, which inevitably added fuel to the story about how spectacular the situation was; I went to the department and met my boss. She is still worried about not working hard. When I entered the laboratory, I saw the scene at sixes and sevens, and I was helpless. ...
It was several days before everything returned to normal. Walking on the campus after the robbery, I will sigh from time to time, "Oh, how nice that tree is here ..." Several students from other schools also know about this and write to greet me. Blow it when you reply, and then say, "This time, I really experienced a typhoon!" "

The recent typhoon "Shengpa" has aroused widespread concern and vigilance, and people have taken countermeasures to reduce losses. To this end, we specially invite Mr. Hong Buren, an expert in Xiamen literature and history, to briefly describe the typhoons in Xiamen's history.

The most destructive typhoon
When talking about typhoons, Hong Lao said that Xiamen is located on the southeast coast and belongs to a coastal island city. Every year, typhoons often come in summer and autumn. Historically, Xiamen has experienced many typhoon disasters. According to local chronicles and other documents, the most destructive was the strong typhoon that hit Xiamen in 19 17. At that time, the famous newspaper Shenbao, which was distributed nationwide, reported it five times in a row. On September 19 12, 2007, a typhoon ravaged Xiamen. On September 15, Shenzhen Daily published a short news bulletin. On the 26th, Shenzhen Daily reported the typhoon disaster in Xiamen: "... the coastal areas were destroyed by disasters, which is sincere. There was no sign of a hurricane, and the customs did not issue a wind flag as a warning. Therefore, the boat people in the seaside mountains are not so alert to the sudden storm, and the ships at sea can't escape, all of which suffer heavy losses ... About five or six hundred people were damaged on both sides of Gulangyu Island in Xiamen ... hundreds of people died because they couldn't escape. This is a strange disaster. " There are more than 3000 words before and after the report. This incident attracted the great attention of the Fujian provincial government at that time. Li Houji, then governor of Fujian, sent a special telegram to the State Council and other Beiyang government departments on the disaster situation of the hurricane in Jinmen, Xiamen, requesting funds for disaster relief. Hong Lao said, 19 17 the newspaper published in Xiamen is now missing. Over the years, he has traveled all over the country's libraries and archives, and collected these materials by microfilm and photocopying.
Two unusual typhoons in modern history
Hong Lao said that in addition, there were two "extraordinary" typhoons in modern times: one was 1908. At that time, in order to receive the visit of the American fleet, Xiamen had already made preparations for setting up a stage and rehearsing in the playground of Xiamen University, but a sudden typhoon attack destroyed all the preparations. The other time was194910/0/7 October. Just a few days before Xiamen's liberation, Chiang Kai-shek came to Xiamen to inspect and suddenly a typhoon struck. At that time, people joked that "this is God's protest against Chiang Kai-shek."
When it comes to contemporary times, Hong Lao said with emotion that different times are also natural disasters, but people's attitudes and reactions to natural disasters have changed greatly, and they are no longer so helpless as before. Just like this typhoon attack, provincial and municipal leaders attached great importance to it, put the safety of people's lives and property in the first place, made meticulous work arrangements, and all departments of Qi Xin made concerted efforts to prepare for the typhoon. What needs to be mentioned is the progress of contemporary science and technology, which has been able to forecast typhoon information in time and accurately, and release news by using news media such as TV, newspapers and radio, which was impossible under any previous circumstances.
Guangxu years
The earliest typhoon warning facilities appeared in Xiamen.
Hong Lao also said that the earliest typhoon warning facilities in Xiamen appeared during the Guangxu period in the late Qing Dynasty. The typhoon warning balloon is set in the flag-raising mountain of Gulangyu Island, which is olive-shaped, and the typhoon level is roughly predicted by the number of rising balloons. But many times, because there was no warning before the typhoon came, people were caught off guard and suffered serious losses. However, the situation is absolutely different now. Use advanced scientific and technological facilities such as meteorological satellites and communication satellites to minimize disaster losses as much as possible, and there will be no casualties as before. We should learn from the past. The past history has left us a profound lesson, but it has also given us more warning significance. For us today, in a sense, we can achieve "man can conquer nature".
