   We're safe, but lots of colleagues came here this week from e.g. Singapore and Tokyo, for the first time since 2018.

   They had booked flights home for early Friday ... but not early enough, as the T8 was raised at 02:40.

         The center is not at its closest to us yet, so it will be growing stronger yet for a few more hours.

            The infrasound of the winds whipping the corners of our tower is actually making me feel a bit whoozy.

               Woah. No, that's not it. It's the building swaying, actually. That's where the quesy feeling is coming from.

               Wow, this is really freaky.
