Kimberley Chen, an Australian singer residing in Taiwan, posted on Threads about being unprepared for the typhoon. On July 24, she wrote: “I have nothing to do at home, but I’m hungry. I hope I won’t have to swim when I go downstairs later.” Later, she shared a video showing water seeping into her house and flooding outside, jokingly remarking: “Not deep enough.”

On Thursday, typhoon Gaemi flooded several Taiwanese cities and towns, injuring more than 700 people and killing seven as well as sinking a freighter off the island’s coast, according to Reuters.

Rescuers pulled nearly 1,000 people out of floodwater in inflatable boats, the Taiwan government said.
