We might get a typhoon tomorrow or Tuesday morning. It's headed right for us, but only supposed to be a Category 1 (the weakest of typhoons), so hopefully it won't be too bad. Okinawa is right under where it says 3AM Tuesday on this map (or it was, this graphic keeps updating - go HERE to see more). We're all stocked up on water, canned food and batteries, so we should be ok. We'll see what tomorrow is like!
Update - as of our Tuesday morning 7AM, the storm is now a Category 2 Typhoon and expected to be a Cat 3 by the time it gets here (a little after 3pm today).
Update - 10:30am Tuesday - sunny and eerily calm. Scott goes on a McDonalds run.
Update - 10:50am Tuesday - the sky has gotten darker and the rain begins! And we've already lost our TV signal. Bummer. Still have power though. No wind yet. The garbage man picked up all the garbage on our street except ours. So now we have a garbage securing situation. Double Bummer.
Update - 3:40pm Tuesday - pretty much nothing has happened all afternoon. A little rain on and off, but pretty light. Still waiting.
Update - 10:40pm Tuesday - The worst of the storm has past. It seemed very mild, so that was good. We didn't lose power and have no damage. It actually seemed weaker than some non-typhoons that we've had here. I don't know how the rest of island fared, but our little neighborhood is fine.
