Typhoon time... again!

Yep. We had another one... It hit us REALLY HARD  on Wednesday morning and Thursday afternoon, with 80 mph wind gusts, and as a category 4 typhoon! I found out about this surprise visit a few days before, when I was looking at the weather and noticed an eerily suspicious looking tropical storm winding its way in our direction... So, praying and hoping that it wouldn't turn our way commenced. Did it help? NOPE. In fact, I think all the fretting and freaking out I did made it turn even more toward us! UGh. Mr. flew away per usual, and left me and the dog to ride it out. 

I was so exhausted from the night before it hit, preparing his bag for him to leave in the wee hours, that the morning of the storm, I was passed out and oblivious to the 70mph gusts outside my window.... That is, until a friend called and asked me if I was alive! Oops! Anyways, I stayed with a friend of mine and we rode this damn storm out together. It's much nicer when you have someone to talk to and keep your mind off the howling wind and crashing waves outside. It hit us, and hit us hard. Then, it left. FAST. Like super fast and nobody expected it to hit and leave that early. I was glad though, and was able to walk back home with the dog the next morning. A few minor wet towels from a bit of water getting into the windows, and some trash and debris to pick up from outside. Other than that, the day after the storm was sunny and windy, and Mr. came home!
