Thanks for the warning, but how serious is the danger? Of course it's not safe to go out in the middle of a typhoon, but is there a typhoon headed for Korea? I hope I can at least get the girls out to the park ...

Don't know for sure but the weather report is calling for thunder storms Sat-Sun-Mon. The tropical storm/typhoon Kalmaegi hit Taiwan pretty hard and is headed this way but weakening. Daejeon usually fares pretty well.

The Typhoon has almost completely dissapeared. It downgraded totally over China and probably won't even make it to Korea as more than a simple rain shower. You can keep an eye on it here http://www.tropicalstormrisk.com/ So the rain should continue tomorrow last I heard but nothing too extreme. hope that helps!

Sat afternoon it got kinda bad and my dogs were standing at attention looking at the window. I wish I had gotten a picture of that! :eek: I saw on a USA Today show about dogs that their fur collects static electricity especially during a thunderstorm. That's why they hate it. So this woman has invented a coat that discharges the static. Really cool idea. I wish I could put the link on here but couldn't get it. Anyway, it was the Today Show.
