Ma-On...A Bust?

Despite the fact that classes were cancelled and the local Hiroshima trains haven't been running all day, there hasn't been much typhoon action around here. It's been windy, but precipitation has been nil. I am enjoying the cooler temps, though and I'm thinking I might not have to run the a/c tonight.

Typhoon Ma-On

By all accounts, there's a fairly strong typhoon headed Hiroshima's way. We'll likely be affected tomorrow (Tuesday) and Wednesday. Luckily, I've already gotten rid of all my patio furniture so there's nothing for me to batten down.

Some further reading:

Very strong and very large Typhoon Ma-On (1106) may be coming to Japan

Powerful typhoon moving toward Japan's main islands

Typhoon 08W (Ma-On) (FYI, the Marine Corps Air Station in Iwakuni is close to Hiroshima)

Hopefully classes won't be cancelled tomorrow. I have vocabulary tests scheduled! If you'd like to keep tabs on me, you can always read my Twitter feed in the sidebar on the right. Hopefully, we'll just have heavy rainfall and moderate winds. Fingers crossed!
