Tomorrow is TYPHOON DAY! (That is a hurricane to you and me)

We are expecting the arrival of Typhoon Mindulle tomorrow. So we went to the NEX to pick up some items in case we lose some of the basic services - power, water, etc. As we were checking out, the Japanese cashier made the X sign and said the NEX would be closed tomorrow because it is typhoon day. Pretty cute.
None of us have been in a hurricane before so it should be interesting. If the storm keeps its current track, we could be hit pretty hard. It is supposed to make landfall 9 miles west of us - which means, because of the counterclockwise winds, we would be squarely in the path of the strongest winds.

The calm before the storm - no wind and very quiet.

The sunset was unusually colorful -
             reminded us of sunsets back in Texas.

    Hey Rusty,

    Did the typhoon make a direct hit? There were times in Virginia that we should have evacuated, even though we were 100 miles or so inland. Hurricane Isabel went right over us. The eye of the storm was very eerie.
