Uninvited guest supposed to drop by on the night between Friday and Saturday. Guess I won't be sleeping much. These things have a knack to come at night most of the time... very peculiar. Photo credit: Astronaut Scott Kelly, looking down at typhoon Soudelor.

Well, it was a busy night!
We had the eye pass right over us! It got crazy intense and then, for about 50 minutes, it was just peaceful... then hell broke loose again!
Happy to see that damages are not so bad, the usual trees down, even a small shed was pushed onto a road!
No huge amounts of rain, so mud slides were not a big problem during this one.
After all the time preparing, now it's the time to clean up!

Glad it wasn't too bad Jeff. Hope the clean up isn't too intense.

Glad you're ok, when you said "look what's coming my way" i saw the picture and thought you meant the space station. Then i saw the hurricane beneath it. My wife's from Iowa so she knows all about the tornado's.

We got it easy here. So far, I have seen footage of trucks being shifted along on the street by the winds. They recorded 17m (55 feet) waves... a record size for here. Waves reached so high, they destroyed a few places we all though were high enough, including my surf spot. In Taipei, they got winds and lots of rain. Since the city is built in a "bowl", floods are common... but of this magnitude...
