What is a typhoon?

A typhoon is a very serious storm.

It brings very strong winds and heavy rainfall. The winds often blow the sea onto the land. This can wash away houses and cars.

Typhoons cause a lot of damage. People are often injured and killed by the effects of typhoons.

This is what a typhoon looks like from space…

…and this is what it was like on the ground

What would you take with you?
