There is another typhoon coming, yep yep, but this time it ain’t no ordinary typhoon. No, this time it’s a Super Typhoon – Super Typhoon Sepat to be exact. Sounds dangerous, huh? Well, it should. This is Butterfly’s(Wutip’s) big brother and he is coming to beat me up for making fun of his little sister. Sepat ain’t no joke either. This sucker is a whopping typhoon and he means business. He’s as big as they get too – weighing in as a category 5. Currently his maximum winds are clocking in at 160 MPH and the gusts are at 195 MPH.

I feel really bad that Taiwan is going to get the brunt of this storm, but I am also rather relieved that Super Typhoon Sepat and all its glory will most likely die down as it crosses over the mountains of Taiwan before crossing the straight and doing a bee-line for Xiamen. If we are lucky, it will be a category 1 or 2 before it starts to pelt us with its winds and rain.

I’m much too young to die.

Something I found interesting is that no one freaking knows that it is coming. I talked to 5 Chinese people today and not one of them had heard of it. One of them even laughed and told me it would be a piece of cake. Yes, a piece of cake. I hope for his sake that he is right. Sepat might just make him into a piece of cake. A Chinese cake. They don’t really prepare for these things either. No one is boarding up windows or what not even though all of the tracking modules say, “Hello, my name is Sepat, and I coming to your city for a visit because I heard it is nice this time of year.”

Eh, hopefully it won’t be that bad. We are going to buy some water and what not so that if it is, we will be prepared. I just hope who ever built our apartment didn’t slack off when he put our place together.
