All Clear

The typhoon passed through yesterday evening, directly over Okinawa, as a Category 3 (I think) but there seems to be no damage. Where we were the storm seemed pretty weak. There was no damage and we never lost power. The rain or wind didn't even seem too severe. So everything is good here.
Scott gets to go back to work today and deal with any financial fall out from the storm, so hopefully there wasn't too much damage on base.
Here's a youtube video someone took of Kompasu on Okinawa yesterday. The wind did not seem anywhere near this strong or loud at our house. I think we might be in more of a sheltered location though.

Update: Kadena was ok, but the north part of the island, including our beloved Okuma beach, got hammered. Story HERE.
