There is a Tropical Storm named Haikui hanging around Okinawa.
The darn thing isn't strong enough to be called a typhoon, so far.
So, RyukyuRusty and I decided to take a ride while the rain was stopped.
We went over to Manzamo and there were a few other people there, too.
The rain had quit but, the wind was blowing fairly hard.
Over the years, I bet I have had dozens of twisted umbrellas as the result of typhoons.
It would be nice if I could show everybody one, or maybe, a pile with ten of them.
But, the wife keeps throwing the things away on me.
Don't you think Twisted Umbrella sounds like a cool title ?
Today I got lucky. There was a twisted umbrella right over the fence at the Elephant's Nose.
So, I grabbed it and got Rusty to do the shooting.
The wind got blowing again and helped me display the thing for you.
Excuse my hair. I try to keep it styled for tropical storms.
Things felt a lot safer when the gusts of wind slacked off.
But, I started yelling "Hurry up!" when the wind picked up again.
All I wanted to do was get back on the other side of the fence and get rid of that umbrella
before everyone watching started thinking I was crazy.
Hah. I put the twisted thing right back where I found it.
That way other people could use it, if they wanted.
The opportunity to pose at a major tourist attraction with a twisted umbrella doesn't happen everyday.
We took a few parting shots and got back over to the other side of the island just in time.
That Tropical Storm, Haikui is dumping buckets of water on us again !
