Typhoon Tracking

Woke up this morning to TCCOR 1 status - winds of 50 knots or greater are expected within 12 hours - and the news that there is no school for the little ones.  One day on, one day off. 

Since last night Kompasu sped up and upgraded to a category 2 typhoon which is now supposed to go right over us between 3 and 7 tonight.

As of 9:00 AM it looks like this...

No wind, no rain, no grey clouds.

1:00 PM - Kids outside playing, parents inside cooking (just in case we lose power) and it looks like this...

Of course the satellite looks like this...

But it's only a little windy, and we had one downpour (right when Kelly and I decided to go for a walk).  And we wait...

3:00 PM - It's raining, little wind...

6:00 PM - lots of wind and rain

But we're staying warm and dry inside playing Wii and enjoying a "typhoon" party with the neighbors...

10:00 PM - Typhoon Party over, kids have to go to bed.  What a rockin' good time!  The typhoon was a little disappointing, for how awesome it looks on radar, it was a bit anti-climactic.  Waiting now to see if the kids have school tomorrow.

7:00 AM - Wednesday, September 1st - TCCOR ALL CLEAR - Back to normal life!
