RE: Rain on My Window, Typhoons on My Mind - Reminiscing on Past Disaster

Its interesting that you say your storms were mostly electrical, because I have noticed that many of these typhoons do not have as much lightning as I have seen during storms in other parts of the world. The Typhoons are mostly heavy rain for extended periods and very strong winds.
When they cut the trees, they do not cut them down, but instead cut any branch that may be problematic during a storm. I used to worry about how much they were cutting off, but the climate here is very hospitable to growing things, and the trees always seem to continue growing without a problem.

It's the humidity difference, I think. Here it's more a desert landscape, incredibly dry. So you'll have thunder and lightning but no rain at all for the most part. And in the daytime the humidity is so low that everything will give you a static shock upon touch. It's horrible haha.
But over there, especially since it's more coastal, there's higher humidity from all the water around.
Ahh I see, that's good then.
That's crazy about the static shock everywhere. Fascinating, but also that would suck haha
Yeah I never encountered that until I came here, and it isn't fun at all. Try to touch a door handle? Shock. Try to move a blanket? Shock. Picking up your laptop? Shock.
