UPDATE, 12:30 p.m.: Power just went out for about five minutes, then came back on. Apparently about 60,000 people in the Ryukyus are without power, so I don't know how long it's going to last. Don't worry, though, it's going to take me at least 5 hours without Internet before I start to go all Lord of the Flies. i guess I'm saying if there are no posts, there's likely no power.
Since the power has been flickering but not going out, some photos and video from the typhoon ...
Here's another video from an hour or so later. The wind begins gusting so hard, you can't hear me talk in places (likely for the best):
Just because I feel like it, here are some "before" pictures of my beloved tropical garden. I doubt the double hibiscus flowers are going to survive, and lantana will take a beating too. It's fitting that this happens just before I leave, I guess -- I get on a plane in a little over two weeks.
Finally, the view of the wind and rain from outside and from inside my window (barred to prevent foliage intrusion as well as human):
