Bye-bye, Super Typhoon

It was quite rainy overnight, but Super Typhoon Melor has gone north ahead of schedule.

Right now, at 11 a.m. Thursday morning, a strong, gusty wind is pushing massive, puffy clouds very rapidly across a bright blue sky. The only remnants are some leaves on the ground; there's no flooding because the city's roads are gently curved to send rain to curbside drains leading to Tokyo's gigantic sewer system.

Lucinda's school is closed (because it was still raining at 5 a.m. when they made the decision) so she's at a playdate. Arno's school is open, which makes us all very happy.
