Typhoon Neoguri update.

Typhoon Neoguri a couple of days ago.

Some of you may have heard about the (formerly) super typhoon that tore through the southern island chain of Okinawa yesterday and was headed straight for Kyushu (where Kumamoto is), but as of now it has been downgraded to a tropical storm and right now outside my window there's not even any rain falling. I'm still going to play it safe and stay indoors today, though, since school's been canceled. Thanks to all who have been praying.

Still, along with widespread damage, there have been numerous injuries and a couple of deaths reported down in Okinawa, as well as record rains elsewhere in Japan causing severe landslides and floods, so please keep Japan in your prayers as we continue in typhoon season.

Gray skies over Kumamoto this morning.
He stilled the storm to a whisper;
the waves of the sea were hushed.

Psalm 107:29 (NIV)
