just finished talking to julius, who is in tamuning. no power. just trying to sleep, but sort of impossible. reminded me that the filipino typhoon food is adobo, as you can adobo anything that's defrosting in the freezer, and then keep it without refrigeration for a really long time as it is vinegar-based.

there has been three inches of rain dumped on island in the past hour. they are expecting an overall rise in the rain totals for the month of 12 inches by monday (4 more hours). sheesh. flash flooding still expected until 6am tomorrow.

the thing is, that even with the closest point of approach being now, the damaging winds won't stop until sometime late tomorrow. we're stuck in the house until then.

still freaking out, i'm sure.
