Right now the only vision I have in my head is a bunch of Japanese people pointing at a huge 100ft wave and the running away screaming.
Hope everything goes alright for you. Flooding isnt cool. I had to deal with that 2 years ago

I'm not sure what their bellyaching is all about in Okinawa. According to the experts at The Weather Channel there is a 90% chance of rain and the wind is only 17mph.

i agree with apex13b but if your car does get killed i will shed a tear with you. its like having a death in the family. i will feel the pain cause as far as im concerned any one of you rotary drivers are in my somehow distant third cousin kind of a way related family. so good luck for your car and even better luck to you my friend.

Whooo hooo.. it's moving west a bit more.. this = weaker winds.. It's just starting to get windy now, but the strongest wind are supposed to only be 100mph in about 18 hrs from now, much better than the 150+ they were talking about before..

you should put a webcam up outside with a live feed so we can see what a typhoon is like.
I think it's kinda like a hurricane

nah, I think the name is different for the Atlantic Ocean (hurricane) or Pacific (typhoon)...it's still counter-clockwise here, it flips in the southern hemisphere (clockwise), but the names still apply.......I think
