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!

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.
