TYPHOON...

I was chatting with a friend this evening who is in Nanning. I asked how the weather was and she replied "Very windy. Typhoon outside."

It's Saturday morning in China right now and I was surprised to hear this. I know living in Florida brings it's share of storms and hurricanes as well.

While we were chatting, I went to the weather website, I pulled up a radar of South China to see the typhoon traveling northwest had passed over Hainan island early Saturday morning and the center is hitting the mainland of China right now.

Typhoon Rammasun is a category 4 storm... very powerful. Winds are 100mph (170kph) cutting a path to Vietnam. Nanning is directly north of the eye of the storm and the radar shows the outer bands extending past Nanning out to Liuzhou.

Be safe and I wish you all a speedy recovery to the destruction this typhoon will cause.

Wow, that's HUGE.... I feel very bad for areas and people when tragedy hits,

I am in e Northwestern Louisiana, I often pray that we don't get hit with hurricanes and tornado's. They frequently hit in areas around us. I hope we are in a spot where they continue to not hit directly. I would love to have the resources to build a shelter in my back yard. It's something I've always wanted to build. When I moved here and resources were available, so many family matters and other things distracted me from that goal. But I will re-plan for building one.
