Typhoon
October 8th, 2004
We’re getting slammed this typhoon season. We’ve been hit by several big storms recently–okay, not so much as Florida, but still, we get hit. For me, this is bad timing because typhoons usually make my satellite TV reception crap out, and tomorrow morning–practically zero-hour for the typhoon–is when the second debate gets broadcast. I may have to listen to it on the radio, or deal with webcasts or something. Damn. Hope the typhoon heads out to sea instead of hitting here… and, oh yeah, it would be nice for those people whose homes get destroyed in these storms, too.
Hey, this one is serious. You had better tape up your windows. and think seriously about taking your dish inside. I live in Yamaguchi and we got hit dead on with #18. I sat in terror as my giant verannda window flexed in and out with every gust. Some of my fiends lost power for 5 days. (most averaged a day) This one is nasty. Take care and prepare! Get water and food now. and fill up the tub tonight.
hope you fare well.
peace

Well, for right now, the typhoon is still out at sea–actually, we are currently being hit by a heavy-duty rain front associated with the typhoon. Current reports put the storm as passing by early morning, and the typhoon itself not hitting until late afternoon/early evening tomorrow. But your warnings are appreciated, and I will be monitoring this one closely….
