On Sunday I get a call telling me that a Typhoon is headed towards us. Of course that day is less Sunny than the last few days but it does not look too ominous. But just to be prepared myself and Christine went out and bought some more candles and food and water. Christine had already set up a nice Typhoon locker when she came out in August so we were really prepared. Monday I go to work and pretty much just secure it. We then went and spent the majority of our day (me and some coworkers) in line waiting for gas. We had to gas up all our cars, get propane and get gas for generators. The generators had been in the shop for a month so we called and got just enough for those that needed them (good thing too because thats exactly how many they actually repaired). We then had to wait in line to buy gas and put it in portable gas tanks. We then had to go out in town to get propane because here on base you can't refill it only exchange it, and they were all out.
So we go out in town, I split up and go get the generators, and my coworkers go to the propane place. That goes swimmingly until they see an old man get run over by some other guy backing out.
So at the end of the day I have fifty dollars worth of gas, and 25 dollars worth of propane in my garage. A ton of food and water, and a generator. We moved everything that was outside inside, and took apart our new garden. And.................
The storm missed us completely. Barely even rained.
The picture above is the storms path. You can see for yourself. (Kong Rey was the name of the Typhoon)
