Thunderstrike

After a few hours, they woke up feeling refreshed. The first thing Elena did was check the situation outside. The howling wind had intensified, and heavy rain continued to pour down, accompanied by the roar of thunder.

She noticed that the water level had begun to rise in some low-lying areas and realized that the building lobby would likely be flooded within a few hours if the rain continued to worsen.

She then checked her watch and saw that it was still late afternoon, but the gloomy sky made it feel like evening. The electricity was still working, and her phone signal had been restored.

She wondered if the government had issued any announcements regarding the situation.

She then checked her phone messages and found a text, not from the government, but from the military, warning citizens to stock up on essential food supplies as the typhoon was expected to be severe.
