We had a speaker at our guild meeting a few months ago who lived through it! She had photos and some amazing tales, it was very interesting.

Hope you're doing ok.... and the worry isn't doing your head in! I think much the same, once you've done all you can do, you gotta just let the rest happen.

Good luck!

Well, the sky is a sort of blue gray color. They say it's supposed to it around 6pm now. I'm just waiting! Have all done that I can have done. Tried to run out this morning to pay the rent, but banks were closed. Guess if they are open tomorrow I can get it done, if not, I'll call the landlords and tell them to come pick up their money. Don't want to be late paying!

No word from hubby today...not sure what is going on there.

Another storm headed this way after this one, but it's supposed to just bypass us a little and hit Saipan with 100+ force winds.

Ok, got an e-mail from the ship. They are staying out to ride out both storms. So, I'm sleeping alone again....not a big deal. BUT, as usual, any damage/trees/ect that needs to be cleaned up after this passes, I'm doing it alone. (yes, will have Courtney, but.....ugh!)

Hi Terri - see you are online still!! I heard about the Tsunami and earthquake in Somoa...they say this might get out to Japan, so I was worried about you there too. We're supposed to get an effect here in CA - somewhere between 8-26 inches higher - just like we had with Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. Except we are not as sea level so we won't have the after affect of flooding like those folks did (tragic situation for sure!)

Anyway, keep safe, dry, warm - protect your girl. Keep it touch with us!!

WOOHOO!!
This is the latest from the weather center........
BULLETIN
TROPICAL DEPRESSION 18W ADVISORY NUMBER 13
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TIYAN GU WP182009
500 PM CHST WED SEP 30 2009
...TROPICAL STORM 18W DOWNGRADED TO A TROPICAL DEPRESSION...
...TROPICAL DEPRESSION 18W HAS DISSIPATED WEST OF ROTA...
NO WATCHES OR WARNINGS ARE IN EFFECT.

But, we now have another one that IS a TYPHOON directly behind it.
We are supposed to get winds and rain from that, but it's headed to the west of us, so it SHOULD miss us completely. That one is headed towards Palau and Yap islands.

I'm thinking those fans I have pointed to the winds have worked! WOOHOO!!!
