Yup, a just a category 1 typhoon, with windspeeds from 74-95 mph. It all depends on which track it takes. If it goes south of Okinawa Honto and moves up the East China Sea on our left coast, we'll feel little effect other than some very ordinary wind and rain. If it crosses directly over the island, we'll get a little stronger wind and rain. Either way, not a beach weekend.

Well, we just heard from the weather guys' guys that this is a fast mover. We're already in TCCOR-1, and expected to go into TCCOR-1E tonight. They'll probably push it to TCCOR-1C right after people get off work. Heh. That way, no one gets off work early or is able to go drinking off base (if they live on base) -- those sneaky bastages. We're tying stuff down and going to Jusco for stuff, like donuts...
