Marc writes about the approaching typhoon. SMIC has asked students to stay home tomorrow, but teachers will be working as usual. The newspaper said that 200,000 residents were being evacuated from their homes to weather the storm in sturdier lodging; sure enough, this evening construction workers living in the makeshift concrete dorms across the street were sighted from our balcony carrying their bedding and walking down the street. Maybe they're being housed at the local elementary school?
