Typhoon Fitow


The house is shaking…so much so that while I was laying in bed, I could feel the house moving and swaying. What a creepy feeling. We still have power and everything is fine. It’s a small typhoon, so that’s good. The eye is supposed to pass over us soon and we’ll see how the rest of the night goes. Fun fun!

It’s my first typhoon. That’s the name for a hurricane in the Pacific, if you didn’t already know…not to be confused with a tsunami ;) (which is the giant wave caused by an earthquake). It’s Friday night and we’re supposed to get hit by Sunday morning/afternoon. I bought some water and extra food stuffs, but none of my neighbors seem overly concerned. I’ll just put down the persiannas and ride it out. Here’s a picture of the storms path. My house is on the western coast of the middle white dotted circle, which is inside of the big red circle…right in the typhoon’s path.
