Major Flooding in Northern China
Major Flooding in Northern China and how the history of China and the Far East was and is affected by Northern Chinese's
If you believe that the situation for the Chinese economy, Chinese society and many other challenges in China this decade can’t get any more severe, you are mistaken. It’s time to take talk to mother nature causing flooding in the northern China region. But from August 1, 2023, China was inundated with heavy rain and flooding in northern and northeastern regions in recent weeks brought by…

oh man. the supertyphoon hit my place so bad.. i’m from the northern part of the philippines and i basically lost almost everything at home. my computer, tv, even the gas range because of flooding. i just got mobile data connection and i’m so devastated… it’s 2:33 in the morning and i’m waiting for sunrise for somebody to rescue us because the flooding’s getting worse. i have no electricity, but thankfully i’m stocked up with food.
I just started bouncing back from my injury back in May, now this again. i feel like the universe is out here to get me. jesus christ please send some help. my computer’s good as dead and i use it for my part-time job and for commissions and writing. i am all over the place now. please send some help.

Follow-up to my earlier video. Still waiting for the typhoon to hit.
Meanwhile, I'm redoing my Fallout New Vegas TTW mod list to keep myself occupied (because I kinda screwed it up earlier).

For a while now a friend who's down in 屏東 on the coast has been planning a meet-up/party/sleepover there on the 26th/27th for the friend group before one of them leaves the country, which was all well and good (no, actually it was increasingly complicated and anxiety-inducing) until Doksuri appeared, poised to become the first typhoon to make landfall on Taiwan in 4 years. Everyone else is incredibly blasé about this, continuing to discuss what snacks to bring, and going out to dinner! I am more concerned about whether the public transport will even run if the local government calls a typhoon day, and thus haven't bothered to buy a train ticket yet (in the end what train I take will come down to my loathing for operating on little sleep vs my reticence to pay for the HSR). I do not want to be stuck in my friend's temporary accommodation (knowing how he keeps his usual living space, no offense) if there's potentially no power and/or flooding at some point, and I also have to be back in Taipei for a volunteering obligation Saturday. I am sure I'll have fun once I actually go, but in the meantime it would simplify things if the whole affair were simply called off on account of high winds and torrential rain...

Typhoon Doksuri day 1 @ the Osmanthus Garden in Hualien, Taiwan.
Let's stay vigilant and sincerely pious about the weather.

At least 11 people have died and 13 others are missing in torrential rains in Beijing as China braces for the third typhoon in as many weeks.
The remnants of last week's super storm Doksuri flooded Beijing for the fourth straight day on Tuesday even as another typhoon approached the eastern coast.
More than 50,000 people in the city have been evacuated so far, according to state media.
The flooding has hit several districts, disrupting train services and traffic.
At least a dozen people were killed in the Philippines and Taiwan as Doksuri passed through at the end of last week on its way to China.
Heavy rains are likely to persist this week, and flooding could worsen in northern regions around Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province, the emergency management ministry has warned.
At least nine people have died in Hebei, officials say.
Relentless rain over the weekend broke daily precipitation records at 14 weather stations in Beijing and the northern provinces of Hebei, Shanxi and Shandong.
Chinese authorities have not announced an official toll of victims or reported how many are missing outside the capital city.
Military helicopters were deployed in the early hours of Tuesday to deliver emergency food supplies and ponchos to people stranded in and around a train station in the hard-hit Mentougou district in western Beijing, CCTV reports.
Around 150,000 households in the district are reported to be without running water.
Nearly 400 flights on Tuesday were cancelled and hundreds delayed at Beijing's two airports, according to flight tracker app Flight Master.
Footage shared online by residents in the surrounding Hebei province show swathes of land engulfed by floods.
Residents in several neighbourhoods in Hebei's Zhouzhou county have reportedly been trapped, some for almost 24 hours, as rescue workers are unable to reach them.
On Monday, state television published a clip of the dramatic rescue of a man clinging to an overturned car caught in raging floodwaters in Wu'an city, also in Hebei. The man and his car were pinwheeling down a flooded river before he was lifted to safety by a helicopter.
Like many parts of the world, China has been seeing extreme heat and rain in recent weeks, which some scientists have linked to climate change.
Doksuri made landfall in China's south-east Fujian province on Friday, triggering landslides and floods before moving north towards the capital. Hundreds of thousands of Fujian residents were evacuated.
Doksuri, which came a week after typhoon Talim, also led to mass closures of schools and workplaces across the province.
China's Meteorological Bureau said Beijing saw a deluge of about 170.9mm (6.7in) between Saturday night and noon on Monday, the equivalent of the average rainfall for the entire month of July.
There is little relief with typhoon Khanun on the horizon. It is expected to enter the East China Sea on Wednesday before moving to China's coastal provinces, Zhejiang and Fujian.

Keep safe. It's going to be a rainy weekend. ☔
While #TyphoonDoksuri #EgayPH  has moved out of the #Philippines' territory & made landfall in #Quanzhou, China, TS #Khanun #FalconPH has entered the Philippines' PAR but unlikely to make andfall. Both storms will enhance #habagat.

Brazil was hit with an extremely powerful extratropical cyclone, Europe was smashed with a massive mesocyclonic system from the Mediterranean (which is also hitting record temperatures) which delivered some of the only rain Europe has received this year. China was flooded by historic rains from Typhoon Doksuri. Greece continues to burn as wildfires continue across Southern Europe and Northern Africa. Italy was hit with record-breaking hailstorms twice. North, South, and Central America have been hit by heatwave after heatwave, with average regional temperatures going as high as 10 degrees Celsius over previous yearly averages. Life threatening temperatures. Sea temperatures in the Caribbean and Central America are comparable to a hot tub, reaching the 90s for prolonged periods, which is unheard of. North American flights are forced to limit fuel and passengers to continue flying safely during severe heatwaves. The polar ice is failing in new and unexpected ways. The whole world is boiling or burning.

In the end, after all that fuss about Typhoon Doksuri, the trip to 屏東 was unanimously cancelled and we parties involved ended up meeting yesterday in Taipei instead. Now Typhoon Khanun (ขนุน, jackfruit) is upon us, whose effect (on the north, at least) seems inverse to the amount of attention I was paying to it. Today I noticed public transport is reduced, some flights cancelled, and judging by the amount of dead fish on the bike path, the riverside park was flooded at some point. Pro: the temperature is down enough to go for walks during the day Con: might get blown away while doing so
I feel both very stagnant in life right now, and also as though time is passing in a slippery blur. I haven't gone to any shibari/繩縛 events in a while after sustaining some mild nerve damage which still hasn't resolved itself- it doesn't impact my quality of life in any significant way but it still felt like a wake-up call to the real level of risk involved (and underscored that I'm really not into 責縄/semenawa). I also had a kind of silent falling out with someone I considered a close friend- I could not be arsed to arrange our next meeting and figured I'd let him take the initiative and he just...has not. Maybe he's of the same attitude and is waiting for me to contact him, I don't know. Lately I just want to go become a hermit in the forest (were it not for the mosquitos), so who knows how long this will go on.
I need to change something in my life (no, repotting my plants does not count). I want to be employed and financially independent, get residency, and have health insurance again. It's not that I've never achieved these things, it's that it's always been a struggle to maintain them (especially all at once), and I am plagued by the fear of failure and rejection (as are many people, I suppose). However, I am approaching the tipping point wherein the guilt at inaction will outweigh the fear of action.
I think I also need to be constantly learning new things to feel fulfillment in life, and while I'm still working on Chinese on my own, the instant gratification of language learning tends to decline as one departs from the thrill of being able to order a meal or have a chit-chat and descends into advanced subtleties generally encountered in solitude while reading. Well, for me at least. I do get a kick out of figuring out puns, but there comes a point where language itself becomes much less relevant than the task at hand- ie: being more relieved that I had finally gotten my bank card unlocked than excited about the fact that I was able to complete the process in Chinese. This is when I get bored and go in pursuit of novelty. I used to think it was some sort of moral shortcoming, or damning judgement of my attention span, but now I'm more inclined to believe it's a normal human feature and learning a new language every few years is not the worst thing I could be doing with my time on this earth.
That is to say, stagnant as I may feel, I do have a direction, I just need to commence.
