Chapter 30 Severe Typhoon Landfall

"Dad, Mom, I'm done, I'm going to be on duty at the unit." Dongfang Jian said.

"You're going to go out, it's too dangerous, stay at home and don't go." Aunt Lin said.

"What do you say? My son is on duty, and the unit arranges it, how can he not go? Small key, you take advantage of the wind now, hurry up, pay attention to safety on the road. Dongfang Xian said.

"Mom and Dad, no problem, I'll be careful." Dongfang Jian replied that the district government building was not far from home, twenty minutes by car.

"I'll go with you." Aunt Lin said uneasily.

"No, you stay home."

"Then you have to be careful, grab the flashlight."

"Okay." Dongfang Jian put on a jacket, took a flashlight, and drove away from home. In his memory, Haigang City was a place frequented by typhoons, and it came several times a year, and every time a typhoon came, the district would notify cadres at all levels to be on duty all night and organize personnel to carry out typhoon prevention and disaster prevention work, and the cadres here have become accustomed to it.

Outside, the wind and rain were heavy, and the sky, which had not yet been dark on weekdays, was already pitch black. The trees on the street were blown to the ground, the signal pole was crumbling, it could fall down at any time, the downpour went straight to the windshield, the eastern key turned on the wiper to the fastest gear, to no avail, he had to drive the car to the middle of the road, to avoid the street trees and signal poles falling and hitting the car, the street has a lot of water, although he turned on all the lights, still can't see the road in front of him, this road has been driven hundreds of times, he can also drive with his usual memory, but he doesn't dare to drive too fast, for fear of hitting the guardrail or something.

Usually less than 20 minutes by car, he drove for more than 30 minutes, and finally arrived at the door of the building, the door was closed, he tried his best to honk the horn, because of the loud wind, the old man Zheng in the gatehouse did not hear, he had to call.

Old man Zheng couldn't imagine that in this stormy and rainy weather, there were still people coming, he hurriedly opened the door and asked Dongfang Key to drive the car in, he shouted through the crack in the door: "Dongfang Key, why are you here?" ”

"I'll be on duty." Dongfang Key shouted. But Old Man Zheng didn't hear it, he put on a poncho, took a flashlight, and rushed out of the doorroom.

Dongfang Jian parked the car directly in front of the office building, and as soon as he got out of the car, Old Man Zheng rushed to his side, and he shouted: "Dongfang Jian, you have something?" ”

"How did you get out? It's dangerous, go back quickly. I'm on duty. Dongfang Jian said at him.

When he arrived at the office on the sixth floor, Lin Hao was already in the office, and Dongfang Jian went to his office to ask about the specific work: "Director Lin, I'm here, what are I doing?" ”

"Take advantage of the signal now, you should quickly contact the local water control offices to understand the rainfall situation."

"Okay, I'll start to understand right away." Reports of extremely heavy rainfall have been reported everywhere.

He was about to report to Director Lin, and as soon as he arrived at the door of his office, Director Lin held the phone in his hand and said with a solemn expression: "Yin Bai." ”

"Dongfang Jian, just now I received a notice from the Municipal Flood Control Headquarters that the Changhu Reservoir began to open the flood gates, and the situation is a little bad." There is also a lot of rain brought by the typhoon this year, but it is far less rainfall than this one.

Taitian landed early, and the rain slammed into the doors and windows with the strong wind, making a "popping" sound, and the wind roared like a monster through the cracks, wishing to destroy the whole house.

"I'll go downstairs and have a look." Aunt Lin said.

"It's very dangerous out there, you can't go out, you know?" Dongfang Xian admonished her.

"I'm not a three-year-old, don't I know the dangers? The rain is so heavy, I'm going to see if the water is full into the house? Aunt Lin said.

There were still a few stairs from the ground, she stepped down and felt her feet cold, looked down, oh my God, there was water in the house, she shouted: "Husband, come and see, there is water downstairs." ”

"What?" Dongfang Xian was shocked when he heard this, stood up and went downstairs to investigate, really, the ground was full of water, and it seemed to be as deep as a calf. He lived at such an age, it was common for water to enter his home on typhoon days, but it was the first time he had entered such deep water, and he suddenly felt uneasy when he looked closely at the continuous influx of water through the cracks in the door.

"Quick, quick, move the TV." Aunt Lin shouted.

This shout reminded Dongfang Xian, and he stepped into the water to move the TV in the living room, which was fifty-four inches, which was quite heavy, and it took a lot of effort to move it upstairs.

They live in a small terraced house, five stories high, bought from local demolition households, Dongfang Xian likes to live in a terraced house, so as to avoid conflicts with people upstairs and downstairs. The first floor is more than five meters high, the front of the stairs is all used as a living room, the back of the stairs is divided into two floors, the second floor is a storage room to put sundries, the kitchen is on the second floor, and household appliances such as refrigerators are placed in the kitchen. In the living room, the TV was moved, and there were no electrical appliances except for wooden furniture. The water was still rising vigorously, and the two hurried back to the second floor.

"Will the little key go out?" Aunt Lin muttered.

"You call your phone, you call your phone, ask where he is?" Aunt Lin turned her head and said.

"I still need you to say, I tried it just now, and the signal will be nothing."

"Then call."

"Blind sound, can't get through."

"So what to do?" Aunt Lin asked, her face turned white in a hurry.

"Don't panic, the little key will be fine." Dongfang Xian comforted her.

When the two were panicking, the power suddenly went out again, it was pitch black, and the two of them were really helpless when the power stopped.

Dongfang Jian was worried about Xu Chuchu's safety, he made many phone calls, but he couldn't get through, alas, he was really anxious to die!

There was a power outage, and Lin Hao came over and said, "Dongfang Key, just stay in the office, don't go anywhere, is it white?" ”

"I know, Director Lin."

"This power outage is really terrible." Lin Hao said anxiously.

The wind blew all night and the rain fell all night. A ray of sunlight shone into the room through the window, Aunt Lin was happy, the sky was finally bright, listening to the rain outside had stopped, she pushed open the window, the wind was still very strong, and the curtains were blown "popping". Aunt Lin fixed the curtains, stretched out her head and looked, ah! The water filled the city overnight, she opened the door to the staircase and saw that the water level was less than half a meter from the kitchen, so it was estimated that the water in the street was at least two meters or more, how could she get out? Aunt Lin walked into the kitchen and found that the tap water had also stopped, and there was no water or electricity, what would she eat? It doesn't matter if she doesn't eat, but her son, she is worried about her son again.

The typhoon is a tropical storm, bringing hot weather, because the ice in the refrigerator melted overnight, and the water flowed all over the ground, she opened the refrigerator and took out fruits, vegetables, bread, etc., to prevent spoilage. She filled the kettle with mineral water and boiled it on the gas stove, ready to make milk powder and bread for breakfast, but fortunately she had prepared yesterday afternoon and purchased some emergency ready-to-eat food.

Dongfang Jian was awakened by a knock on the door, he opened the door and saw that Director Lin was holding a pack of instant noodles and a hot water bottle in his hand and said to him: "The water and electricity are out, you will eat something." ”

"Thank you, Director Lin, has the rain stopped?" Oriental Key asked.

"The rain has stopped, but the city is flooded."

What? Dongfang Jian hurriedly ran to the windowsill and looked downstairs, the roads and streets were submerged under water, the plane trees on the street only showed the canopy, and a few road signal lights leaned against the canopy. He ran from the stairs to the parking lot, and looked, thankfully the car was not flooded, the temporary parking spot at the entrance of the building is equivalent to the entrance of the second floor of the building, the first floor of the building is the underground parking lot, and the cars parked on the first floor are all flooded, miserable, and it is estimated that they will be scrapped.
