Well today I arrived at school to find out that Macau has a T8 typhoon warning. It seems hard to believe since it is sunny outside. It is a little windy, but no that windy compared to the winds of Lethbridge. The typhoon was rated as a T1 yesterday and then in the evening the rating was changed to T3 and early this morning the rating went to T8.
The T8 warning means:
"The centre of a tropical cyclone follows a pattern of movement that winds to be experienced in MSAR may possibly range from 41 to 62 km/h and gusts about 110 km/h.
Classes of all schools are suspended. Children should remain indoors. Doors and windows should be safely bolted. Conclude all precautionary safety measures. Bridges will close to all traffics at any moment, pending prior notice. Television and radio stations broadcast round-the-clock."

Looking at the path of the typhoon I can see that it not going to hit Macau so I don't think I have to worry. Inside the school I can't hear the wind so I feel very safe. None of the other teachers are concerned. They are surprised that it is not raining here.
I will keep you posted but I think we are safe this time. Looking at this website I can see that we don't have worry about this typhoon. This is a new experience for me to track typhoons and watch to see where and when they are going to hit. I have never been in a typhoon before. The other teachers told me that we will probably have another one as the typhoon season lasts until the end of September.
