defrogUh oh.
That’s Severe Typhoon Megi, soon to be Super Typhoon Megi, the highest class of typhoon there is.
The red asterisk thing is, of course, us.
Ironically, we’ve been dodging typhoons all season. None of the cyclones so far has really got close enough, or packed enough of a punch, to warrant more than a Signal 1 warning. Now we may be getting a Super Typhoon – it’s like we’ve been skipping the smaller typhoons so we can save up for one big motherf***er at the end of the season.
It may not come to that – Megi’s course has been somewhat erratic, and we’ve got a couple of days. On the other hand, it’s big enough that even an indirect hit is going to be shoving a few hundred gallons of rainwater through our air vents. Which won’t be fun.
Anyway, don’t worry about us. Megi killed at least 19 people in the Philippines, but HK is pretty typhoon-resistant, so we should come out of it with water damage and sleep-dep.
Hopefully.
A mighty wind’s a-blowing,
This is dF
