A Letter from Hualien
Dear Jenny,
How is the weather in Taipei? Here in Hualien it is stormy today. I can hear thunder, and the rain has not stopped yet. It looks like a big storm.

My mother says the typhoon will pass on Sunday. If the weather is fine, come and visit me next weekend.
Love, Amy

Thunder and Lightning
Imagine you are outside and a storm begins. Thunder and lightning often come together in summer. In fact, they happen at the same time, but we see the lightning first because light travels faster than sound.
Dark clouds usually mean that rain is coming. Lightning is very hot and can be dangerous. When you hear thunder, go inside quickly. Do not stand under a tall tree, and do not touch anything electric.
Many people are careless during a storm. A few minutes inside can keep you safe.
