Typhoon Usagi
Options
-
19-09-2013 12:53pm#1According to the current predictions on Weather Underground, Usagi is forecast to hit Hong Kong and surrounding Guangdong as a Category 3 typhoon. This is slightly down from the previous Cat. 4 prediction, but it's still potentially serious, particularly because of the flooding and landslide potential. A South China Morning Post article also points out risks to the south of Taiwan and the north of Luzon.
Tracking Map (which should update):
From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

I Superimposed a radar shot of Usagi over us , and yeah.... ITs a big one i tell ya ! :eek:
"Super Typhoon USAGI is passing through the Luzon Strait at this very moment with winds of 130 knots (150 mph)-- a strong Cat 4 on our scale. As you can see on radar, that intense inner eyewall is passing near or over Bascan Island, which just reported winds of 97 knots (112 mph) and a whopping-low pressure of 912 mb (26.93 in)! " Wow.0 -

Track brings the Typhoon in a slight NW direction so it should get closer. Interesting day ahead i would say.
Hope you're safe in the coming hours. Please do take pictures regardless

A massive none event here in Tainan, Southern Taiwan with more or less calm conditions most of the day and heavy rain just starting a few hours ago. The East of the island got hit worst with the huge mountain range running down the spine of the island keeping the Western half somewhat sheltered.
Edit: Just adding a chart of rainfall distribution across Taiwan. The Max i believe is 538.5mm in less than 24hrs.

The latest report from the South China Morning Post suggests Usagi will make landfall about 100km NW of Hong Kong.
edit: Usagi rolls past Hong Kong, on RADAR:
