What to do during a typhoon

Today another typhoon has been blowing through... I personally enjoy them for the most part, because it means you don't have to go anywhere... which means you can stay home and get things done (in a relaxed day-off-feel sort of way). However, when you are a kid, it means staying inside the confines of one's apartment, and sometimes you just have to be creative finding things to do...:

Not only do we have lots of activity inside, there is activity outside too -- in the form of wind and rain. Sometimes during a typhoon the wind howls so loud we can't sleep through it at night. Sometimes it rains so much we have to bail water from the front entryway to keep it from coming in the house. Most of the time though it's just enough wind and rain to keep one inside for a day or two, but not enough to do too much damage in the immediate area where we live -- today was one of those. Here's a bit of video footage from outside our apartment:
