Typhoon!

Our first typhoon since we have been here is headed our way! Check out the website below (just click on the link) if you want to see details on it or follow it as it goes. You can zoom in on the diagram on the right on the website to track its path, or you can click on "PAGASA" to see some more details on it. It looks like it will go right over us Saturday night (we are due south of Manila, about 1/2 way between there and the coast), but it will lose intensity when it hits land so it probably won't be that strong. We don't have anything to worry about since we live in a concrete house - being in a grass hut as the eye of one goes over is a different story! I also remember climbing up in mango trees as a typhoon was rolling in and clinging to the branches as the wind flung the tree around. Who needs rollercoasters or theme parks anyway? Don't worry, we have no such crazy plans as a family today. :)
