Typhoon Kompasu...

...is about to "pasu" over us. In case you're weather report doesn't include the typhoon warnings for SE Asia, we have a category 1 typhoon headed strait to Okinawa. What fun! We're going to test the strength of our concrete bunker home. And it actually looks like the kids might be off school for their 2nd day of school - no snow days here, we have typhoon days.

But never fear, we have a fun neighborhood and I've been following a trail of Facebook postings of people already planning our "typhoon party"!  In TCOR 1 everything military shuts down - schools, commissary, stores, etc. so we'll be trapped on base for the duration - might as well pool our resources and have some fun!


For those weak on their geography, that circle that says "9 PM Tue" is sitting directly over the island of Okinawa.

Bring on the wind and rain (it's definitely the calm before the storm right now)!
