As some of you may know, we had a typhoon pass through the other day!

Super Typhoon Melor (the one on the right) was a category 5 "Super Typhoon" out in the ocean, a Category 2 Typhoon when it came ashore, and a Tropical Storm as it passed right over us in the middle of the night... since Nathan still eats in the middle of the night, I got to see some of the action. I never knew a person could miss thunder and lightning so much!

Most of the storm action was over by morning, but Ryan and I had a good time opening up the window, feeling the wind, and watching leaves and branches fly around!

It was funny watching him get irritated when the curtain would blow around and cover him up :)

The afternoon sky was the most gorgeous blue!

We could even see Mt. Fuji!
