I’ve been a bachelor for a week now so I have been taking care of things that I don’t normally have to do. Anyway . . . . The typhoon came and has left. Our hometown, Taipei, was barely bothered. Lots of rain and some gusty winds was about all we got. No street flooding at all. However, the south part of the island was not as fortunate. Many of you have already heard the news. The first link below has some really good coverage of the typhoon’s path through the Philippines, Taiwan, and on into China. It also has some really good photos. (HT to Amanda)

The only good news is that the water reservoirs in Taiwan that were almost empty are now all full.
