For a quick visual of what we're going through right now, click this link here.  Then click on the animate button. Oh, so strong wind!

We decided to go for a walk in the typhoon this morning, which was bloody brilliant! 100kmh winds, shearing rain... with the wind at our back the rain was pelting our necks like rice in a wind tunnel. It hurt, and reminded me of an exfoliation treatment gone horribly wrong. There were a few scary moments, mostly when we were walking by trees, because we saw that about a dozen very large trees had broken at their trunks. Some had landed on cars, and there was debris everywhere. We are actually quite lucky, thinking of it now, that we weren't harmed or seriously maimed by flying debris.

We're now safe and sound in our apartment, and I definitely won't go back outside until this monster storm passes over, which should be Sunday night-ish. I think we're going to take advantage of being house bound and catch up on some movie watching and napping and pancake eating. Yum!
