Typhoon Sanba is Coming

Another typhoon is coming:(

Typhoon Sanba is expected to hit Korea on Monday, coming in at the southern tip from the Japanese island of Okinawa,  and travelling straight up the peninsula.  It is expected to be as strong as typhoon Bolaven, which did quite a bit of damage a few weeks ago (some food prices are higher because of it) and killed a number of people.

The good news is that by the time it gets to the wider Seoul area, where I live, the typhoon's strength should have weakened.

The bad news is that the southern parts of South Korea may get hammered pretty hard.

Tomorrow I am going to do some preparation that I didn't do last time.

Those of you in Korea (or elsewhere) looking for news about the storm can check here:

which is the Korean Meteorological Administration's "typhoon" "forecast chart" webpage, and also here:

at the two main Korean English-language newspapers.

I'm not going to worry yet; my thoughts are more that this typhoon stuff is getting a bit old, and that I feel bad for the farmers here.
