Typhoon Blogging

The Super Typhoon "Usagi" is heading our way today and tomorrow. We are about 120 km (90 miles) upstream from Hong Kong - which is right on the ocean. A category 2 typhoon is making landfall right about now in Hong Kong - you may have heard about it!

School has already been cancelled for tomorrow for the kids.

What did we do to prepare? Well, as of one hour ago - it was barely raining, and the boys were playing outside with 6 of their friends.

The major brunt of the storm will be overnight - about 4 hours from now - into tomorrow. According to some maps, the storm should still be a category 1 as it heads over Guangzhou....we will see about that. I hate to think that the "weather panic" we see in the US has infiltrated the Chinese culture as well.
