Typhoon Frank

We are experiencing our first Typhoon. It's Typhoon Fengshen (Frank 07W) and it hit landfall in the Philippines at 7:32 AM local time June 22. We are 12 hours ahead of EST in the U.S. You can track the storm with us at http://www.typhoon2000.com/. We were awoken at 4:30 AM to the power going out and the sound of the massive generators turning on. Our building is luckily run on back-up generators during storms like these. In fact most of the area is run on generators and it's quite noisy. We can't complain though, we've watched movies (Finding Nemo), taken hot showers, and played all day inside while we watch the storm from our 17th floor apartment. The rain is torrential and the wind is whipping through the buildings. We are very lucky to be where we are right now and not in the southern islands of the P.I. Good thing we were in Boracay last weekend not this one. Since we are officially in the rainy season (which stays until August-ish) this won't be the last tropical storm we see. No need to worry, we are just fine!
