Something like “chicken grandma” or so. You know, if somebody is just doing to much.
It started raining and being a bit windy just an hour ago.
Am I hit by a typhoon???
It was only a wisp-by, probably exadurated (sp?) by the alcohol in my blood - caused by the unlikely event of “un-named-brother” and fathers day on the same day.
It is calm now here up north, but how are you southerners doing? It looks like it is going to be a bit naughty in the Kaoshiung area…

Friday would be better for me as I don’t get Taiphoon pay at my job. Can anyone pass that message along to the taiphoon? Thanks
Dragonbones, I cannot see the graphic you posted… so, in case others cannot, here is another attempt:
Thats the wrong end of the island. Here’s the real deal…

That’s funny, I can’t see yours but I can see mine.
Here’s a screencap of it, btw (non-updating)
As you can see, mine is bigger than yours. 
They’re calling for strong winds with this one… possibility of a day off tomorrow:
Non-updating screencap above; the storm has shifted slightly north. Looks like work as usual tomorrow. 
Just announced Taipei and Taoyuen both work tomorrow… I think we’re in for a wet morning…
Just in the news here (FTV). Taipei, Taoyuan, Hsinchu and Miaoli have a free day tommorow.
I thought I heard Taoyuan and Yilan are on for tomorrow. Not Taoyuan and Taipei…?
Nah they’ll not give the day off for that. It’ll just be really miserable and more dangerous than usual on the way to work tomorrow. I think a taxi will be the order of the day.
:s
Definitely no day off for Taipei…I flicked over to the local news just as the words “Taibei Shi ming shang ban shang ke” flashed across the screen. This was on Channel 52 a few minutes ago.
