Typhoon 14

It's raining and it's pouring, the old man is snoring.
Typhoon 14 is on it's way...I think it's nothing, but my Japanese friends are telling me it's going to be quite huge and it's going to cause some damages. This typhoon is different to the other ones, where it's moving quite slowly and the range is quite wide. Whereas the ones last year were quite fast, it came and went. So, will just have to wait and see. I have my torch ready, but that's about all I've got for an in-case of emergency situation.
The schools were quite efficient in getting the news out to the parents to get them to pick up their kids and the kids in their area. There's a chain of command thing happening for emergency contacts as well. Instead of the one person calling everybody, they just pass it down along the line...very impressive. The evacuation centre will be open tonight, for everyone who feels the need to evacuate..I won't be one of them. Gonna stay at home and read my vogue and cosmo. School will be closed tomorrow, so I've taken the day off just to lounge around and do nothing. When I was asking for my day off, everyone at the office was asking me why?! They were saying wouldn't it be better if you came to the office and be with all of us???? Umm...no!!! I rather be at home and be tucked in bed just doing absolutely NOTHING on a rainy day. I think the Japanese don't know how it feels like to take a day off work and just REST and RELAX!! They're such workaholics.
Anyways, hope the storm will pass and nothing will happen...fingers crossed.
