[Dialogue] SINLAKU in Taipei Typhoon 2

[ed feldmanis]

Dear Evelyn.

Please do what you can to be safe.  I realize that on an island sometimes
all one can do is hunker down and wait it out.  I remember the typhoons when
I was there I was watching parts of trees and roofs go flying by.

I know you know what to do.  My heart is in my throat as I write this. I
pray for your safety and indeed everyone's on the island.  I have many
friends there.  I am sure Dick and Gail share your wisdom about these
storms.

You and Larry are in my thoughts and prayers,

Ed

> will bounce off, but it is raining right now and one third over the island
> and moving 7 mph. We brought every thing off the porch and are having our

> to be 100 miler per hour winds, but it is more like gusts of 25 or 30 right
> now. We will also keep you updated.  We have typhoons regularly at this time
> of the year so the new drainage systems seem to be working so far.
> Dick and Gail are staying indoors at their place too.
>
> Keep us posted on Hurricane Ike.
