Asian typhoon.

[JERRY2KONE]

Well it is just about midnight here in Korea and we are sitting here watching the CNN news amazed that there are presently 6 major storms being tracked around the globe. Three Typhoons in Asia, and three huricanes in the Atlantic heading for the East Coast USA. We are now awaiting a Typhoon to hit us head on within the next 12 to 24 hours carrying winds upwards to 100mph, and expecting to drop approx 8" of rain in a very short time. Flooding is eminent. Our schools have already been closed by the base commander and a notice was posted that anyone caught on the streets after 0300 would be picked up by the military police due to curfew. The rains are just starting in the downtown Seoul area but not much wind yet. I am charging up all of our batteries and taking advatage of watching the news, and being on the internet while we are still able to get on line while the power is still up. When storms hit here it is much like the storm that tore through Dade County in Florida ten years ago, because Korea is much like the Florida peninsula. We are hoping for it to pass quickly and without doing too much damage in our area. Wish us luck. We are hoping that Hurricane Earl will skim up the coast and out to sea without creating too much havoc on that side of the world. Then we all have to get ready for the next set of storms.
