I'll be saying some prayers for you tonight Dleg. Good luck. Is there anything we can FedEx tomorrow that would help?

Good luck Dleg! I'll be praying that everyone makes it through unharmed and with as little property damage as possible!
Melor's bearing down on us now, but it jogged more to the north during the night, so we're only expecting 80 mph winds this afternoon when it passes - which will not be that bad. Thanks for your offers of prayers and other support - looks like they worked! (everyone I know was praying for the storm to jog to the north, and it did!).
It's starting to get naaaasty outside... the storm has, unfortunately, "wobbled" to the south, and the ey is now forecast to pass within about 60 miles of us in about 4 hours. Power just blinked out.... probably only a few minutes of power left. See you all when it comes back on!

Wow, that was kind of lame. Thank God.
Storm is moving away now, not much happened last night. But then again, I haven't gone out yet. Some of my friends said the wind was pretty bad last night up on the high ground,ut down here it was hardly even tropical storm strength. And the rain never really turned into much, after earlier in the morning when some local flooding was happening - it just sort of shut off after that, and was pretty light.

^Yeah, no kidding! We took a drive around the island yesterday. A handful of trees were down up on the northern end, which was closest to the storm, but otherwise you couldn't tell anything had happened.
Best guess: 2 weeks 'till the next one is on the way. I hate El Nino years...

It was upper 40's lows and lower 60's highs with very few clouds in the sky for our 2 round of golf at the bachelor party this weekend. Couldn't have bought better weather.

Glad everything is ok Dleg!
Yea, I have a bad habit of not checking the weather over the weekend. I had grass seed to put out, but my spreader was acting up so I said forget it. Wouldn't you know it would be raining today, which would have been perfect for the seed! D'oh!

Man, it was a nasty, rainy ride in today. Some of the roads have been repaved, and they haven't put the Bots dots or reflective paint back down yet. lane discipline was...umm...interesting.
Now I wonder why more people didn't get killed on rainy nights pre reflective paint/Bots dots/halogen headlights.

Something awesome.
Ha! I was quoting that last night as we drove past a restaurant called "El Titanic."

another rainy day here
I see that the remnants of Typhoon Melor are hitting the US Northwest now .... that's the same storm that I posted about a week and a half ago. Amazing. The remnants of those big typhoons usually don't make it all the way back across the North Pacific like that. That's about 7,500 miles.
I just sat through a presentation by a meteorologist from the ENSO Applications Center (El Nino forecast group). He told us that during an El Nino Year, every island in the Marianas has a 1 in 3 chance of being hit by a typhoon, which he said is higher odds than anywhere on earth - The US Gulf Coast, for example, may have odds near that, but for the whole coastline. For us, those odds are for each, individual island.
