The only good news is that this is not the first place the typhoon will make landfall.
Team Leader Liu said, "The wind will continue to weaken after the typhoon makes landfall. There's a buffer zone of two to three hundred kilometers between the landing site and the family compound."
"By the time the typhoon passes, the wind might not be as strong. Also, the typhoon might change direction during this period."
Commander Yao was silent for a moment, "But we can't gamble on this possibility."
Everyone present knew how destructive a Category 16 typhoon could be.
"Old Yao, those tube-shaped buildings in the family compound can't withstand a typhoon of this magnitude."
As he spoke, Li Weiwei looked out the window with a worried look on his face.
"I know."
After thinking for a moment, Commander Yao looked at his guards.
"Notify your subordinates, immediately issue the highest level typhoon warning!"
"All non-combat personnel, including their families, evacuate the auditorium immediately! Quickly!"
"Yes, Chief!"
After a burst of shrill air raid sirens, an urgent broadcast sounded.
[Urgent Notice! Urgent Notice! Attention all revolutionary families!]
Typhoon 74316 has been confirmed as a Category 16 super typhoon and is expected to make landfall in four hours.
[Please listen to the announcement, everyone! Immediately! Immediately! Follow the designated evacuation route and take shelter on the second floor of the regimental auditorium.]
…
At this moment, on the second floor of the division headquarters auditorium.
Jiang Si had made sufficient preparations in advance, and her third uncle had lived by the sea since he was a child, so he had some understanding of typhoons.
So long before the rain started, she carried her prepared things and came over slowly.
Along with her came Teacher Hu, Sister Xu and some sisters-in-law who have lived by the sea all year round.
Of course, Jiang Si is not the kind of person who only cares about her own life and death and doesn't care about other people's temperament.
After all, with so many lives involved, she couldn't just ignore it.
So before coming to the auditorium, Jiang Si went to see Director Pan of the family compound.
By the time she arrived, several sisters-in-law had already come to visit.
Everyone came to see Director Pan to report the situation.
Some people say that when they get up early they see something like a sunset cloud, which they say is a sign of a typhoon approaching.
Another sister-in-law said that there were a lot more feather-like cirrus clouds in the southeast today.
This is also called "horsetail cloud" in their hometown, and it is also one of the most common clouds seen on typhoon days.
Jiang Si's reaction was similar to theirs, except that she also emphasized some of the points.
This morning, after Uncle San and Uncle Zhong discovered that something was wrong, they made a special trip to the beach.
There, they found quite a few swells.
Jiang Si also told Director Pan about the turbidity of the sea water.
After Director Pan summarized the situation, he reported it to the military region immediately.
Then she went door to door to inform everyone again.
But I still say the same thing, it’s hard to persuade that damn ghost with good words!
Director Pan was talking so much that his mouth was almost dry, but after listening to him, everyone acted as if they had heard something funny and continued to sit at the door and chat calmly.
As happy as everyone was then, they feel as regretful now.
The rain was getting heavier. After just one hour, the water in the family compound had reached up to the calves.
"What's going on? It's been more than an hour, and less than one-third of the people have evacuated." said Captain Sun, who was in charge of evacuating the family compound.
Director Pan looked embarrassed. "I've urged you several times, but everyone is rushing to pack up and won't listen..."
"This is simply nonsense! It's already this time, what's more important? Or is life more important?"
Seeing that there was not much time left, Captain Sun was so angry that he had no choice but to send a small team across the river.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry up, everyone, evacuate quickly."
The young soldiers knocked on the door and urged everyone.
"It will be ready soon, soon." It would have been fine if they hadn't urged him. The more he urged, the more anxious everyone became.
At this moment, the old lady leaned half of her body out from the next room, "Little comrade!"
