Our first typhoon of 2006 (maybe)

Here it is. Typhoon Ewiniar. Today we are in Typhoon Condition 3. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center http://www.npmoc.navy.mil/jtwc.html shows the storm coming right up at us. It is a category 4 storm. It was down-graded from a "Super Typhoon". For the Oki alumni family, you miss those "typhoon parties" huh? Big bag of chips, cokes and a few board games... and if you were lucky, the power stayed on long enough to watch some movies too.
I think everyone's excited for the first typhoon. It's suppose to hit us Saturday or Sunday- bummer! I hate missing church. So I also found out that "Ewiniar" is a Micronesian name for a "storm god". But we know that our God Jehovah Reigns! I'll keep you posted.
