September 28-29, 2008 Second Typhoon!

Uh Oh! That sucks!
Nothing is better then a cracked windshield. 
Right outside of our apartment. 
Britta trying to fight for her life. 


Amy kept warning us that this typhoon that was happening as we speak was said to be the biggest typhoon that we Chaunghua will be getting in 13 years. I have never heard the wind blow so hard in my life. Amy said the winds got up to 188 mph. So you can probably imagine what it sounds like. Things were blowing everywhere. I can only imagine after the storm is over what our city is going to look like, it will be seriously dogging it. The typhoon did end up canceling church and work for Monday. It was great.... all locked up in our apartment all weekend long. Good thing we went to Costco yesterday to get all of our grocery's. 
Also since we knew in advance well a day in advance that a typhoon would be hitting us, we rented 6 movies. It saved our long weekend in the apartment. Even though it cost 3 dollars each for a movie for crying out loud. But whatevesr You gotta do what you gotta do. 
Typhoons are very un-predictable and this typhoon ended up not being so bad after all minus the wind. I thought it was going to rain a lot more. But as you can see the fence had fallen on this car and cracked the windshield. It was not a pretty sight. 
Don't get me wrong though, the typhoons are wild. It kind of sucks after being all cooped up all weekend long, it will be nice to get on my bike again.
