Fly out with Typhoon Looming

With Typhoon no 8 looming, my flight finally got clearance to take off after 30 minutes delay. A nervy first 10 minutes I would say, as my plane climbed in dense clouds. But if we would have taken off an hour later, my flight would have been cancelled, as when I arrived in Jakarta, I found out that Typhoon no 9 has just hit HK, which left everyone there stranded. Thank God.
