Typhoon Sudal is not yet expected to hit Guam. The predicted Closest Point Of Approach is 178 nautical miles. We are expecting winds of up to 65 knots on Thursday. Everyone is battening down the hatches and preparing for the worst. I went to the commissary last night to get some water, I was low anyway, and found the shelves stripped bare. The line of full grocery carts stretched a long way. There was no water. I stood in line waiting and talking with the others. then I noticed a pallet on the other side of the registers. It had been loaded with water. I walked over and grabbed 10 gallons. It will have to do.

The sky outside my window is gray with clouds moving north to south instead of the usual east to west. The breeze is picking up.
