Weather Channel, Oct. 18, 2013 at 9:45p ET: Super Typhoon Francisco Brushes Guam, Could Threaten Japan Next Week [...] A tropical cyclone is dubbed a “super typhoon” when maximum sustained winds reach at least 150 mph – the equivalent of a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale. [...] Conditions appear favorable for development [... allowing] the typhoon to strengthen in intensity, possibly to 160 mph (Category 5 status) over the next few hours. After that, Francisco will move into a region of cooler ocean temperatures, which cause the typhoon to weaken. Francisco may threaten southern Japan early next week, however the current forecast from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center indicates that the typhoon will be much weaker by that point. That said, intensity forecasts at five days out in time can be highly uncertain [...]

1. OMG!!! This is when helplessness sets in and sickens. nt

2. Fucking thing is aimed straight at me.

My little island... I'm actually kinda nervous for the first time.

An island off Tokyo got smashed last week with a typhoon and killed over 50 people in a mudslide.

I may evacuate for this sucker.

3. I really don't know what to say about typhoons and what to do

tornado's now I know a little about what to do and that is to get under ground or in something that is indestructible if you want to make sure you're going to be ok. Most times there isn't time to get out of their path so thats not usually an option.

4. Well at least I want to get away from the mountains right behind my house.

If they come down on me and the family, we're dead. And it has happened before on this island.

So, there's that. I will go to the city, the mainland. At least there I won't die in a mudslide.

5. I hope you and your family stay safe and dry.

as well as everyone there.

the sad part is as time goes on we can expect these kinds of things to only get worse.
I swear I think man has shit in his nest for way too long and that now we're going to be living in the mess we've created.

I would be terrified if I was there with you, I know that.
