Typhoon Jebi – level 1

10-09-2018 07:00

Typhoon Jebi is coming to Japan. A million Japanese must leave their homes. They are in danger.

The typhoon brings 160-kilometre-per-hour winds. It is the strongest typhoon since 1993. Airports and train stations are closed. They are under water. A tanker smashes into a bridge.

Difficult words: typhoon (a tropical storm), tanker (a big ship which usually carries oil), smash (hit very hard).
