Look what is on it's way! It is forecasted to get here early Tuesday. It was first going to be a cat 2 and then yesterday they said cat 4 when it passes us. Now they are saying it will be a 5! and the right front quadrant is going right over us- which is the most damaging part of the storm because of the wind.
We spent today prepping. We have snacks, food if the power goes out, lots of water and most importantly battery operated fans! We lost power just last week for 3 hours from 1am to 3:45. I woke up about 10 minutes after it went out because I was already sweating! It really is that hot and humid! I mean, today we had a heat index of 108! I couldn't find any bigger fans that run on batteries so the 3 I got from the 100 yen store will have to do! Better then nothing!
If you look at the pic above, I live in the little square labeled Okinawa and you can see the path going right over us! Very exciting. I'm grateful during these times that I live in a cement bunker on a hill.
If you want to check up on how it is tracking real time, you can go to this site (http://www.tropicalstormrisk.com/) and to the left click on "Neoguri" under the Tropical Storm Tracker section.

Just saw this on the news and immediately went to your blog. Keep us posted (when you can)! Good luck!
So far the storm has not intensified like they projected and is only going to reach cat 3. It has also moved a lot out to the west so it isn't going to be quite so strong. Gotta admit I'm a little disappointed. It should be hitting us all day so we will see how it turns out! The good news is we have prepared and live in a cement house so even if it does go crazy we will be safe!
