The Weather

Well, we've officially survived our first typhoon! It came through this weekend and was actually a pleasant change from all the rain we've had. The center of the storm hit southern Kyushyu and we're in northern Kyushu, so what we got was just the tip of the thing, but the base did put up some warnings about wind. Friday, the day before the storm hit, it was sunny for the first time in months. Saturday, as the storm passed through, it was so windy the sliding screen doors on our house were moving of their own accord. It rained less than normal. That was it. Sunday we were granted another sunny day in the wake of the storm. Now it's raining again. All in all, not a bad deal for us. I also learned how to use the weather forcast one the base website. I got to see satelite of the storm, so that was cool. From what we've been told, typhoons are generally not as bad as huricanes, at least around here. So far, that's held true.
