Typhoon Melor is slowly approaching our island. Yesterday looked like the perfect Friday EVER! But that's what was scary about it. It was like "the calm before the storm" and the people who have never been through typhoons couldn't understand why this typhoon was going to be a super typhoon in a matter of hours when we even had a gorgeous sunset yesterday.
I spoke to people and asked how they prepared themselves and everyone had a different reaction.
"I boarded up our place..."
"I bought snacks to last through the typhoon..."
"I bought a weeks-worth of food..."
"I got my beer and charged up my iPod..."
"All I need is my bottle of wine!"
Honestly, I didn't do much to prepare for this typhoon since the last typhoon I stocked up on batteries, food, etc. Floyd & my brothers are the ones who really secured the houses, etc. I live in a semi-concrete house so if this typhoon blows my roof off my house, that's it for me. So I just packed up most of my clothes and secured the other stuff. Funny thing was I was put in a dilemma where I had to figure out what was valuable and what I could live without.
The winds are just starting to pick up and I'm thankful I had a good night's sleep with air conditioning!!! I also have my battery-operated fan ready for back up....just in case I melt. Hahaha!!!
