"Morakot" is a Thai word meaning emerald. It is also the name of Taiwan's first typhoon of 2009. We were not scared of the thought a typhoon, we felt very similar to the way we feel when a hurricane is coming in Florida. So the howling winds, side-ways rain, and blowing leaf particles were no big deal to us. 
This morning, we woke up and Liz and I decided to go downstairs to watch some TV. (The boys wanted to sleep some more). So down the stairs goes Liz, until she gets to the landing. I hear a great thud as Liz slips on the wet floor and begins to swim in our living room.

Two inches of standing water. Our living room was flooded. I calmly get the shop vac and begin to clean up the water and sent Lizzie to fetch Wally. Together we were able to clean the water away, find the source, fix it, and then resume life normally.
The funny thing is that Wally left my computer on the floor last night. We don't have wireless yet, so we have been sharing a computer. Imagine my surprise to find it almost floating this morning! But it is okay, as I am using it for this blog.
