A Storm By Any Other Name

Typhoon Chanchu slammed into south coastal China Wednesday. It appears the worst of it was slightly north of where we were, but the woman in the photograph on the CNN page getting soaked by a wave is in Zhuhai, where we ate lunch early in the week. It appeared for awhile that the typhoon would hit Hong Kong, but ultimately veered eastward. Later we'll e-mail O (who lives in Shanghai, thank goodness) to see how our south China friends are faring.
