Can't explain the discrepancy, unless it's a matter of above and below
the equator?
An Australian I know was talking about typhoons too. But Javier was a
hurricane and later a tropical storm.

The winds died down after I made that post, and we got a good
drenching rain over a couple of days. Kinda good news around here.
Though someone at the local community college apparently did not check
the weather, since the storm caught one of the computer labs halfway
through being re-roofed. Doh.

Every one else surviving the weather ok?
