Typhoon Muifa 2011





















Typhoon Muifa is coming.. this is said to be the worst typhoon in the past 12 years on Okinawa. We were here for the last one "Typhoon Bart" hit in 1999 right after we got here.. We had just moved out of TLF and into our home out in town.. We really didn't buy anything, no one told us too. .. and then Lonnie had to go into work for "Typhoon Duty" so the kids and I were stuck out in town for almost 3 days.. No phone, No AC, No food..( We did have a little.. beenie weenies) and to make matters worse, some of our roof feel in. We spent most of our time playing games (pick up sticks) and trying to sleep.. SO, flash forward to this one. We are living on base, Lonnie will have it off, we more then likely wont lose power and we have food and water !! Kayleigh is staying at one of the houses she is watching and Nick is staying at his friends place in the barracks, so its just us and the dogs ! I guess this is Okinawa's way to say Hello and Good-bye to us since we leave in Oct. OH, and did I mention that there is ANOTHER one right behind Muifa?? Hope this comes fast.
