the weather outside is frightful
A monsoon has hit Tuvalu. A christmas monsoon. Or maybe it is a typhoon -- I don't know the difference.
There is a giant branch down on the side of the house, it hit the house and K had to go out and clear it away.
Our street sign has blown about 20 degrees to the right.
The power keeps flashing off -- G5 is on backup generator thingy.
The pumps, which are not on backup generator thingys are pumping away and...
we have sprung a huge leak under our kitchen sink.
The leak occurred just moments after I convinced K it would be alright to put all the shells from
those damn lobsters through the garbage disposal.
MAN THE LIFEBOATS!

Typhoon ( same as a hurricane or cyclone. ) The name for a tropical cyclone with sustained winds of 74 miles per hour (65 knots) or greater in the western North Pacific Ocean. This same tropical cyclone is known as a hurricane in the eastern North Pacific and North Atlantic Ocean, and as a cyclone in the Indian Ocean.
Those shells would have been perfect for a tuvuluan ritual necklace...or, a compost heap. you decide.

Good luck - I hope it all clears up before tomorrow (well, at least the nasty effects on your family and your house.)
May the rest of your holidays be completely uneventful, a model of normalcy and good cheer :-)
