This is not looking good...

They say it will now be Cat 5 instead of Cat 4.

Typhoon Haiyan, roughly 48-60 hours from a dangerous encounter with the Philippines, is rapidly intensifying

The Joint Typhoon Warning Center estimates its maximum sustained winds are 120 mph (as of 18 UTC), the equivalent of a category 3 hurricane. That’s a a 70 mph increase since Monday when peak winds were around 50 mph (at 15 UTC).

We are getting the roof tied down better with nylon.

The last smaller storm the nails into the bamboo were pulling out, so we already tied down the front.

But now since we have the time we are doing the back of the house and even the center to be safer.

There are 4 guys here working on getting it done today while we still have time.

Heading over to town in awhile to stock up on supplies.
