Chanchu

(the yellow dot is HK... and it IS a dot compared to the size of the typhoon)

there's a storm heading our way, most likely making landfall tomorrow. it's supposed to be a very strong typhoon but people around here seems to be lax about it. still, my ref is fully-stocked at the moment, i have my cans of coke cooling and just received the Oprah DVD from my sister... so, i'm all set. i can "camp out" in my apartment for a few days with leaving it to forage for sustenance.

this typhoon caused some major damages in the philippines before it set its eye on HK. several people died, hundreds were evacuated... so i'm thinking, "should i be nervous?". being that i grew up there, i'm so used to typhoons. it's not unusual for classes to be cancelled for days at a time, not unusual to not have electricity and running water for days. still, i don't want to let my guard down. mother nature is never to be pooh-poohed!

unfortunately, with most people downplaying the storm, classes and work are not likely to be suspended. my worst fear is that my husband and daughter has left home already, THEN the storm hits.

i just hope it's weak enough that it won't cause devastation but strong enough that classes and work are cancelled. is that too much to ask for?
