Typhoon!

On Friday about 12:35, I was talking with Holly, an elementary school teacher. She mentioned that we were going to get a typhoon this weekend. She also told me that she had found out when our vice principal had prayed for protection from the typhoon that morning... We didn't think anything of it because we had found out so late. We went to Puli, a town nearby that has a few more modern conveniences than Yuchih. (We wanted to bling out our new cell phones and they don't have that type of stuff in Yuchih) We received a phone call from our boss in Taipei who informs us that this typhoon has 2 eyes and is comparable to a 5 on the hurricane scale... We were already getting stuff for an event Friday night, so we quickly got a few more supplies. Robert, our boss, also mentioned that we should not go near any signs during the typhoon because that was the second biggest killer... We still don't know what the first is.

Friday night I wanted to go to our kitchen which I have to go outside and then inside to get to it. At the front of our doorway, there was a ton of ants and they appeared to want to come in. (We think because of the typhoon) We cleaned them up and hunkered down for the long weekend. They reappeared the same time last night(Saturday night) as well. Auugghhh! We also found out that a majority of the typhoon was coming in Saturday night and all through Sunday.

So far, it is really windy and rainy, but I have not seen anything falling down. Phil and Cory went to get more water and tried to go to Balance to get chocolate milk tea for me and milk tea for everyone else, but they were closed. :( Luckily, they canceled the high school for tomorrow because our students are coming in and a lot of public transportation is closed. I finally got this place looking like the way we want it to... Yeah! I hope that no one is hurt.
