Many consider Guam to be in Typhoon Alley, and while the season is officially considered June to December, there has already been a SuperTyphoon in the South China Sea last month. I’ve learned some of the typhoon lingo such as ‘Banana Flattenner’ = small storm and ‘Storm Salad’ = vegetation strewn all over the house and yard. We’ve been warned by everyone we talk to that we better be ready for a Typhoon so FM has taken it upon himself to prepare us. This is what I found in the Typhoon storage as of yesterday:
Guess we’re off to a good start: beer, wine, ramen, pop-tarts, bug spray and a generator ~ what more could we need?
Displaced Beachbums 
Don’t forget the water! and I’ll assume you have a healthy fuel supply for the generator. With the bigger storms it’s not unusual to be without power/water for many weeks, so you might have to move to non-generator-based means(ie fire), so batteries will come in handy.
But let’s hope we things don’t come to that 😉

It’s good to see that you’ve got the basics covered! I’m sure that if we lived in a place that required being prepared for natural disasters, and Todd was shopping, beer is all we’d have in it. Unfortunately all I have to prepare for is glowing in the dark from the radiation!! 🙂
