The Storm started to hit early this morning, but didn't reach its peak until the afternoon. It was crazy! We went out in the morning to get some breakfast from a little dumpling shop. Luckily they were open in the storm. Most things were closed up. Hayden, Brit, Allison and I went down to the beach and played in the waves for a bit. There was a strong ripcurrent, but it wasn't too bad, we stayed close to shore and got kicked out after 20 minutes or so anyway. We had to sneak under the ropes, so technically we weren't supposed to go out in the first place, but we were fine :P
The power went out at our hostel for pretty much the rest of the day, and we weren't really allowed to go outside. A few of us went out to explore, probably not the smartest thing to do, but we've never seen a typhoon before..! The winds had definitely picked up quite a bit. Candice and I got knocked over at one point when we were running back. Luckily there were no injuries, just some awesome video :)

| These scooters were knocked down everywhere. Some just skidding down the street |

| This was our food supply. We got sick of crackers and cookies real fast, the storm let down later at night and we were allowed to go out! Muslim noodles for us! :) Luckily they didn't shut down because of the storm. |

We all made it back safely so everything is okay :)
