Welp, the earthquake wasn't enough; looks like it's typhoon time again this weekend!
Guess we'd better stock up on supplies.
To reassure y'all, though--We're on a middle floor in a concrete building designed by a mining engineer, on the inward-facing side of a small valley--about 40 feet above the valley floor, and about 20 feet below the top--and well-situated for protection from storms coming in from the East, like this one (and most of them, frankly).
And see this wall? Solid reinforced KONK KREET, baby! WIth a hefty metal door and frame.
And this is what our windows look like:
All our windows face North and West, and we have an overhang.
Basically, even with the worst earthquakes and super-typhoons we've had, we've not seen so much as a cracked window pane. The worst that has happened to us is losing power and/or Internet for a bit, so I'm pretty sure we'll be fine.
Our biggest worries are infrastructure damage, but we generally keep between twenty and thirty gallons of drinking water on hand, and the property has a deep well, so as long as there's power for the pump, we'll have washing water, too. Might have to go out every couple of hours to clear the balcony drains to keep water from seeping under the front door during the worst of the downpour, but whatever.
We also have a couple of charged power banks for our phones. If I go offline this weekend, it'll be because internet, electricity, AND cell towers went down--which is pretty unlikely.
Anyway, concerned, but not really worried.
