Here we go again! Typhoon Muifa (TCCOR 2)

Just thought I’ve give a quick update, as you can see from the picture to the left Typhoon Muifa is closing in on Okinawa, the push pin, and we are currently at TCCOR 2.  Yes, Muifa is much larger than the push pin aka Okinawa, but yet again I’m not too concerned.

“ TCCOR 2: Destructive winds of 50 knots or greater are anticipated within 24 hours. Remove or secure all outside items.”

1 Knot = 1.15077945 mph

I’ll try to post a few updates as it gets more exciting, but right now it is just “weird” cloudy and quiet… “before the storm.”  Plus, it is not suppose to get here until around noon tomorrow at the earliest.  Stay tuned to the links at the bottom of the post for the most up-to-date information.  It should also be noted should we lose power I won’t be able to post anything new.  In that case I will post an update once we get power back.

For those that are curious, in the below picture you can see what the wind speeds are for each category of typhoon.

Finally, for the latest information and current TCCOR level for Okinawa see the below links.
