Displaced Beachbums

When we moved here, we were told the Typhoon season started in June and went through December. I woke up this morning to “storm warning” on the front page of the local newspaper. There’s a tropical storm, called Kong Rey, west of Pohnpei and heading toward the Marianas Islands (including Guam).  My first reaction was WHAT? I thought we were out of the Typhoon Season. Not so, according to the Pacific Daily News. We’re in the secondary typhoon season which really means Guam is always subject to a Typhoon 😦

We started using our storm supplies once we found out we were moving because we don’t want to be stuck with items we can’t ship. Thankfully, we still have plenty of gas for the generator since getting gas now would be a pain. The lines at the gas stations are a little crazy. FM managed to get the last three cases of Budweiser at the shopette so he’s all set 😉

I’m not thrilled with the name of the storm. Translated to English, it’s King Kong, which sounds more than a little ominous!
