Do you think it's a bit weird that two of your old haunts in Taiwan & US are getting hit by typhoon/hurricane impacts on the same day?

LOL! To be honest, I hadn't considered it, but it is quite coincidental. In fact the odds of that happening are probably extremely low.

Also, Idalia ended up dropping most rain south of the eye I think, which makes sense as the southern band of the storm picked up all that moisture as it hit. This resulted in the area where we lived getting hit the hardest, north of Tampa.
