Typhoon Ruby (aka Hagupit)
The storm’s path is quite a bit to the north of us now - at least 250 km - we’ll still be affected though. Last year our house was directly in the firing line, so this is not quite as bad, but it will take three days to pass because it's going very slow.
It’s been extremely difficult to forecast the track of this typhoon. The Asian countries put it on more-or-less the same path as last year, the US (in Hawaii) initially said it would turn north before it got to us but has now revised it to converge with the UK's prediction, which has consistently been it would take the path it now appears to be taking. So that’s one up for our computer modelling!
We'll lose power for some time - maybe a long time, who knows? - but I'll post again as soon as I can. It's due to affect us Sat-Sun night.
