After two days of 90% rain forecast from the typhoon and getting nothing, and then it dropping to 30%, i finally went out to water the coffee plants last night - as soon as i finish it starts to rain.

Looks like Okinawa would have had a few things going bump in the night with Jelawat going right over them - that was really an impressive looking typhoon. The lesson for us was probably that when they stay east of us, there is very little rain that comes our way. Though the waves are massive - as big as i have ever seen them in this area.

See there's another low coming through on the production line - expected to drift north but a bit early to say for sure - worth keeping an eye on.
