Today, you probably looked up at the sky and search for that super typhoon that somebody, somewhere told you will hit Shanghai late last night. The good news is it will not be here tonight.

I mean there is still tons of stuff to do, but rainy and sunny is two completely different backgrounds just like fireworks on white clouds or dark sky.
