Aftermath of the typhoon

The storm wasn't as bad as it could have been and the typhoon's path changed and so, we didn't have to bear the full force of it. With the good chance of Uni being cancelled we partied all night while the storm raged and I even took a walk outside. After a police car drove by with his lights flashing and stopped a couple of 100 metres away from us, we decided that it would be best to go back inside.

(I need a better camera -_-)

Uni was cancelled on the Thursday, but only the first 2 lectures. It had actually cleared up by 8am so it was a bit of a surprise that classes were off.

The clean up begins outside I-House 2

Biggest Typhoon in a decade to come HERE!!!

How awesome is this, my first Typhoon ever and its apparently going to be massive! Actually, its not awesome since it might injure a lot of people and houses but still, having never experienced one and it may be the biggest in 10 years is kind of cool. Its already started to hit, heavy rain and wind outside my window.

Hopefully Uni will be cancelled tomorrow and hopefully I'll still have Internet and power. If you don't hear from me, don't worry. It should be over in 24-36 hours or so. 400 mm of rain and up to 153 km/h winds expected.

Batten down the hatches me mateys! arrrg!
