I'm expecting a fairly strong storm. The 'farmer index' is high. They were doing more preparations the last couple of days than they did all last season, including trimming back all the trees and screwing the lid to the water tank on so it doesn't blow off. They also told us to sleep downstairs. Not sure if that means they think the roof might blow off or what. (Actually, it's just extremely, really profoundly noisy sleeping under a metal roof in a typhoon. In fact one can forget about sleeping at all.)
