The typhoon hits

"Typhoon? No big deal." That's what I said last week. Today, I sing a different tune. The wind is howling and the rain is pouring, and apparently the Shanghai government just raised its typhoon-alert level (click here to get the details from the WSJ). Thankfully, Mike and I are safely indoors -- although our windows are rattling and water is slowly seeping in from those in the living room. Our Internet is still alive (albeit excruciatingly slow), so it can't be all that bad. Here are a couple of pics from the car ride home from school today (thank God for Bob!): 

Umbrellas don't help much in a typhoon.
