Typhoon

Last Saturday we were told a typhoon was coming. It would hit either Sunday or Monday it wasn't hitting us directly we would be on the outskirts but our streets could flood, there could be landslides, a curfew, and school closures. Ok freaky. So sunday comes and its on and off pretty rainy, and pretty windy but not too bad. In fact Cam decided to take the scooter to the grocery store, since it was our day off. Monday rolls around sunny skies and a little bit of wind. Well were thinking I guess the typhoon wasn't so bad after all. Turns out our island was just lucky, Hiroshima was hit really bad 5 people died in floods. This crazy global warming I guess they get more and more typhoons every year. We were all prepared to take pictures and video but I'm glad we didn't get hit like Hiroshima after all.

    OMG A TYPHOON?! Shows that I must not be watching the nes close enough or that our news here seems to find stories like "TomKat's marriage in Doubt" more important than Typhoons?! Sigh...

    Sooo happy you guys are a-ok.. and in agreement with Kim that there's no first hand video. ;)

    Cam and Karleen:

    PLEASE, don't be like those poor souls videotaping the tsunami and that is the last we see of them!!

    It was great talking to you a couple of weeks ago. It sounds like all is going fine. Did Karleen get her Hello Kitty pink scooter??
