Second Attempt: Looking for Survivors of 1937 typhoon

Hello, 

This is my second attempt because I have still not found anyone.

I am hoping to find someone who lived through the 1937 Typhoon for a piece I am writing. I would love to hear their memories of their experience in the storm and the aftermath. 

The article will be a feature in the South China Morning Post which will aim to inform and educate Hong Kongers about the wild and wonderful weather of this city, including the risks (as we have seen this week, it can be very unpredicatble).

I would be SO grateful if someone could help me to find a survivor to talk to.

My contact details:

Thank You, 

Olivia Rosenman

Hi Olivia,

You'll be looking for someone at least 80 years old. Where have you tried so far?

I wonder if any of the residents of the China Coast Community might be able to help:
