Diary - A strong typhoon named Yagi is approaching us

[Maybo]

This is an entry from my diary. Please check it and correct any mistakes.

A strong typhoon named Yagi is approaching us, and it reminds my grandpa of another strong typhoon, Wanda which swept across Hong Kong in 60's. Wanda caused a lot of deaths and blew down many houses. My grandpa said at that time, he was young and didn't have much knowledge about the damage that a typhoon could caused. When Wanda was very near Hong Kong, he was walking in his village. All of a sudden a gale blew him over to a river. He almost died.

Wow! Did he go in the water?

I'd write " he got swept off by the typhoon and landed at/in a river".

Yes!

@Maybo In that case, I'd probably say he almost drowned.
