shanghai was hit by "bebejia", and the city suffered serious damage

the name of typhoon "bebejia" sounds gentle, but who knew it would be so destructive! the prosperous international metropolis of shanghai was turned into a mess by it.wind force 12, this is no joke.the thousand-ton "damper" of the shanghai tower was blown violently. how strong must the wind be!

to be honest, when i see those images of falling objects from high altitudes damaging vehicles below in the news, i feel sorry for the car owners. who could have imagined that air conditioner outdoor units and exterior wall tiles would fall from the sky?the skyscrapers that we usually see are so bright and beautiful, but it turns out that they are so vulnerable to the wind.

trees fell and power supply was severely damaged

it is said that this typhoon caused more than 1,800 trees to fall down, which is a really scary number.i remember that shanghai's roadside trees are a major feature of the city. now that so many of them have been blown down, i guess those gardeners must be feeling really bad for them.another 47 power facilities were damaged and 30,000 users were without power. now it's impossible to live without air conditioning in such a hot summer!

but then again, shanghai's emergency response capabilities are quite strong. the power department immediately organized personnel to repair the power supply, hoping to restore power supply as soon as possible. but i think that repairing the power supply alone may not be enough. should we prepare for the rainy day and take preventive measures in advance?

falling objects pose a hidden danger, and citizens are worried

this typhoon exposed some hidden dangers of high-rise buildings.those exterior wall tiles and air-conditioner outdoor units that were blown down looked quite sturdy. how come they couldn't withstand the wind?i heard that in some communities, entire windows were blown away. this is too scary!

as an ordinary citizen, seeing these falling objects from high altitudes is really frightening.who knows if you might be suddenly hit by an "unknown object" falling from the sky while walking on the road?i think the relevant departments should take care of these high-rise buildings, reinforce what needs to be reinforced, and replace what needs to be replaced, instead of waiting until someone dies before taking it seriously.

the damper sways violently, and the safety of high-rise buildings has attracted attention

when talking about tall buildings, we have to mention the famous "smart eye" damper of the shanghai tower.i heard that this typhoon caused it to sway violently, which is really rare.although dampers are used to offset the effects of wind and earthquakes, will the building's structure be affected if it shakes so violently?

i saw someone say online that the more the damper sways, the more effective it is. but i'm still a little worried, after all, if something goes wrong with such a tall building, it's no joke.i hope the relevant experts can check it carefully and give everyone a reassuring explanation.

typhoons are coming one after another, and prevention is urgent

what is even more worrying is that the meteorological department predicts that there may be another typhoon "prasang" coming.now that's a problem. i've just been ravaged by "bebejia" and haven't recovered yet, but i'm facing a new test.

i think both the government and citizens need to be vigilant and be adequately prepared.we should strengthen what needs to be reinforced and evacuate what needs to be evacuated. we must not take it lightly. after all, natural disasters like typhoons are difficult to resist with human power. all we can do is to minimize the losses.

but then again, as an international metropolis, shanghai should be better at dealing with natural disasters than other cities, right? i hope it can give us a surprise this time and show its superb wind resistance.

in general, this typhoon sounded a wake-up call for shanghai.whether it is urban planning, building quality, or emergency response capabilities, there is still room for improvement.i hope that after this lesson, shanghai will become safer and more livable.after all, this is our home.
