It was nearly 1,000 miles wide and this super storm dumped so much water that we were in danger of losing our house to flooding.

它有近1000英里寬，這場超級風暴傾瀉了大量的水，我們的房子有被淹的危險。

This footage from the 26th episode of Life in Japan was later used by National Geographic as they did a whole series on destructive storms!

這段來自《生活在日本》第26集的鏡頭後來被《國家地理》雜誌使用，因為他們做了一個關於破壞性風暴的完整系列！"。
