There's a Storm Brewin'
Okinawa has already been hit by this storm and she's well on her way up north to the Kanto Plain. As of today, we are in TCCOR III or, Tropical Cyclone Condition Of Readiness III. The highest is I (one), so hopefully all we will see here tomorrow is a heavy tropical storm. Yesterday was graced by a flurry of folks at the commissary stocking up on food items and other necessities. Although typhoons are never anything to scoff at, since we've been here they have proven to be pretty weak compared to their hurricane cousins. Don't worry, family, we are taking the necessary precautions and are playing it safe to all standards. An FYI that we will most likely have our computer turned off so that it doesn't fry.
Last night, I made a big pot of Giambotta and this afternoon used some on a garlic toasted hoagie for lunch - YUM! The leftovers should last us through the weekend. Other than that we are just waiting for the storm to pass so maybe we can finally have some clear sunny weather. ETA for the storm is Sunday evening.

Yikes!
Let us know how it goes when everything is up and running--it is a beautiful, sunny and hot day here in California--we'll be attending services at Mosaic Law this morning, a Memorial at Carlton Plaza on Sunday afternoon, and a minyan on Wednesday at Uncle Al and Aunt Tami's, so catch us when you can. Love you much--Mom
First wind and rain now an earthquake?
Goodness!
Hope everyone is fine...
Wow heard about the quake! Stay safe in the storm....
Hey y'all,
Thanks for the concern. All is fine here in south-central Honshu. The storm ended up just brushing by us enough to cause some low level wind and a bit of rain (the rain is still here, too).
The quake was way up north and it measured about a 2.0 down in these parts, like a midsized sneeze. We didn't even feel it, but one of my new-arrival coworkers did. We heard that some nuclear radiation seeped out of a reactor up north, too. But believe it or not, Japanese reactors are notorious for releasing low level nuclear radiation, so we're not any more concerned about that than we ever have been.
