The Typhoon Lagoon Storm
For as long as anyone could remember, the quaint thatch-roofed village had nestled along the shores of the sparkling lagoon, in the shadows of a great volcanic mountain. Then came the 20th Century with its cruise ships, and tourists, and the Placid Palms Resort . . . a special little place for lucky holiday makers each year.

The great storm, however, changed everything . . . a furious, unrelenting typhoon catching a small fleet of ships by surprise, and tossing them about like toy boats for one terrifying hour. But in the storm's wake was left a remarkable scene.
|
A surfboard had penetrated completely through a huge tree. A small boat had blow through the roof of one building. A great buoy had crashed through the roof of another. The Placid Palms Resort was now the Leaning Palms, almost ready to topple over at any moment. A small harbour had been cut off from the sea, trapping an overturned boat and thousands of colourful fish, oh . . . plus a few sharks along the way.
|
Nothing, however, topped the sight of the shrimp boat, "Miss Tilly", impaled precariously on the peak of the great volcanic mountain. To this day, the mountain tries vainly to dislodge its unwelcome burden with an enormous geyser of water every half hour or so.
|
Well, what nature has done is a little redecorating. The inhabitants were left with he most extraordinary assortment of waterfalls, rapids, pools, surf and all around wetness the world had ever seen. The once sleepy resort had been turned into Typhoon Lagoon.
