Bolaven....ugh

I am sitting here as the first sheets of rain are pouring out of the sky. I live on the tiny island of Okinawa Japan, and we are waiting for Super Typhoon Bolaven to unleash it's wrath on us! It is to be the worst storm this island has seen in 13 years! Winds from 130-150 mph are expected to blow through starting later this afternoon, and all into tomorrow! Please pray for us.

We ARE safe here, as the buildings are built to withstand these storms, it's not like in the States where a storm is likely to ground entire counties. Here, as long as you stay indoors, you are pretty safe, even the windows are built to withstand the high winds, something like a windshield! We don't even have to board our windows, they are storm-ready!! I don't know what the next 48 hours will hold, if we'll lose power or anything like that, chances are we may lose it for a while, but as soon as this thing has gone past, I'll let you know how we fared!

My prayers go out to those who are looking storm Isaac in the face! I pray you all stay safe and have minimal to no damage to your property, etc.
