Tyhoon day!

Outani sensei just told me that if there is a typhoon here the kids get the day off of school but the teachers don't!! What the hell? So it's too dangerous for the kids to come to school, but the teachers? Oh, they'll be fine, besides, who is going to guard the school against destruction if they aren't there?? Besides the obvious question; what is the point in our being at school if the kids aren't? Apparently there will be a typhoon next Monday or Tuesday. Personally I am taking it all with a pinch of salt. It doesn't usually get very typhoony in this area. We had a few when I was living in Hiroshima, but not very bad, just blew a few umbrellas around and cancelled uni for a few days. She did say that if my house gets blown over, or a tree is blocking all of the roads to school then I don't have to come in... I wonder if they find many trees have "fallen over" after a very straight crack has appeared near a scattering of sawdust... But that wouldn't happen because now that I think about it, there actually aren't that many tall trees around the roads, you would have to line up a few small ones. Better option is to flood my house...
