not just rain--flooding too

It is still raining!!!  Right now, quite heavily.

And so for the last few days, like many others in the southern parts of Taiwan, all my neighbors have had their homes flooded.  One told me the flood waters came up to her mid-calf.  Another had waters up to her knee in their living area.

And what is the forecast for the coming week?  Well, according to Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau:

Weather_2

Yep.  Another WEEK of rain!!!  Why?  Well, because of Typhoon #3: Typhoon Sepat.

I found this picture on flickr by Poagao, and while it is not my neighborhood nor from this typhoon . . . you can still get a feel for what's going on around here.

    Welcome to following an unknown path. I'm Amanda.

    I live in Taiwan with my husband, Lawrance, who is Taiwanese. 

    We are newlyweds--we were married in August of 2008.  We both teach English and both love to tell others about Jesus.  We also both really enjoy to laugh, and we just happen to both enjoy peppermint green tea.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog. 

    I tend to blog about life in taiwan, life as a newlywed, a language instructor, a missionary, and as a lover of Christ (but not necessarily in that order). 

    I've been blogging for over 3 years, so feel free to
    check out the archives.
