I for one appreciate typhoon updates on this forum, its often where I get my first heads-up. True, most dont amount to much or their impact is isolated, but they all have potential to fairly suddenly turn into monsters.

Firsthand experience of a couple devastating storms here. They certainly werent jokes.


Those living in southern Korea especially have to keep an eye on these typhoons. This one looks like it'll impact that part of Korea.

And if it doesn't turn as quickly, it could hit the southern part of the country with a reasonable amount of force as well.

There was plenty of rain but the typhoon was a near miss.

These storms are usually a joke. A matter for mariners and shipping interests.

But I'm sure somebody will cry "Big Bad Wolf."


And barely 10 minutes later - right on cue. Laughing
