What if they threw a typhoon and nobody came?

I feel pretty dumb. I just found out that rain all weekend and the wind last night was actually a typhoon. The Korean Herald has a pretty good article on Typhoon ShanShan. I remember thinking last night, man its awful windy. I think my view was somewhat limited because I am on the leeward side of the building, and only a few blocks away from a mountain.

No wonder those rice paddies were flattened and those drainage canals were full. The below image of Typhoon ShanShan is from NASA.
