Uh oh, our 20+ floor building is gently swaying in the big breeze, which still makes me a tad nervous after more than ten years of sometimes living in the eye of the storm. Water is seeping in from windows and air-cons, and is keeping little man and me busy with changing towels and buckets. Thankfully, he sees it as an adventure. He is only disappointed that the typhoon came at night and not during the day. A day off from school would have been so much better.
The picture is from earlier in the day. Now, we are right at the center of the storm. For more up-to-date pictures go here.
PS: One of my earliest post on my blog, more than two years ago (wow, time flies!), was about the typhoon experience in Hong Kong. Then it narrowly missed us, this night it seems to be a full hit.
yikes. i hope the water doesn’t cause too much damage.

Batten down the hatches and stay dry.

I have been in an earthquake where the ground and the old building I was in were moving pretty good. If there is a stiff wind in St. Louis Mo, the Arch will shake a little too. I hope you and the little man are safe.

I see that the storm has past. Hope you made it through okay.
