We were spared. The typhoon was pushed off into the Pacific. Our troubles were little more than some wind and rain throughout the night. The cloud cover broke this morning and we were treated to a bright sun. All is well again. For some reason all activities on the base were suspended until about ten o'clock this morning. No offices or commercial establishments were open. Housing residents were advised to stay put. Then, the blue sky edged out the low dark clouds and the weather warnings were lifted. Everything was bathed in a warm sunny glow. Mr. Sun hadn't made an appearance in a number of days. Things returned to normal and we even got our first glimpse of Mt. Fuji, though the top half of the mountain was blocked by distant clouds. (I should have taken a picture.)
We decided to take advantage of the good lighting and produce a short video tour of the civilian side of C.F.A.Y. (Commander Fleet Activities Yokosuka), our new home. Enjoy.
