Why do typhoons always happen over the weekend? Seriously, I feel like they should come any day of the week but of course we have a Super Typhoon Hagibis come right during our three day weekend. If it was during the week Bob would have had work off. We had one a few weeks before this that also came over the weekend. I guess the weather was not in our favor.
Everyone was getting pretty worried about Super Typhoon Hagibis. The one we had just a few weeks before did some serious damage to base (our house was fine) and this was was supposed to be twice as big so everyone was worried. I read lots of different articles about how it was going to be the biggest typhoon to hit Japan in decades. We stocked up on food and even filled our bathtub with back up water just in case. This picture shows how large it was in relation to Japan. It completely covers the entire country!
The next picture shows how the eye of the storm is supposed to go right over us in Yokosuka. We are about the spot where the storm first goes over land. And not only that but the water is literally right across the street from our house! We've been told we are safe because we are kind of in an inlet and there is also a big seaway/boardwalk to protect us.
So we shut our shutters and stayed indoors. Here is what happens when we are home for more than 24 hours without going outside.
Lots of mess making! Calista goes crazy in the pantry about once a week. Below you can see how sad she was when we pulled her out of there. She also dumped out my meringue powder. The very one that I can't find in stores or get it to ship to me so my sister brought it over all the way from America.
