I was awoken at 5 am this morning by the most amazing noise. In my just-awake state it took me a while to work out what it was. We were being battered by the tail of a tropical storm or typhoon. I immediately leapt up to try to rescue the two plants outside my balcony window.
My baby lime tree was standing up well to the lashing, so was OK.
and my mint was sheltered enough to escape damage. So, no real damage except to my sleep.
Some of my neighbours were less lucky. My immediate neighbour lost all the clothing she had hung outside her window to dry. We calculate it's probably flying somewhere over Korea by now!
