minus 1 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Anyone down there getting blown away by no. 14? yet? Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I tied up my vegetables like a bondage master this arvo, and now they're suffering a whipping from the wind. It looks like it's going to be a noisy night. No shooting in the neighbourhood yet though... Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 No blowing but it maxxed almost everywhere down here on the weekend. Provided some of the best ever surf for the world surfing tour which wrapped up in chiba today. Just hope this hits us in Nagoya overnight tomorrow so that I don't have to cancel classes tomorrow.

rach 1 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Some pretty scary vid coming from Kyushu this morning. Hows it where you are Ocey-babe? Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 rach, are we ever gonna get hit so we have a day off from work? Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 It's a bit weird at the moment rach. Quietly raining for the most part, but with occasional sudden blasts of wind. The crickets are chirping like crazy. School's closed. This one is bigger and more powerful than Katrina, or so I'm told. Link to post Share on other sites
sunrise 0 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I posted this link on another thread. Here it is again - you can follow the projected and current storm Category number as well as the typhoon tracking here. It's currently a 3, though it sounds like it's already caused a lot of havoc. http://forecast.mssl.ucl.ac.uk/shadow/tracker/dynamic/main.html Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 That's a really cool site sunrise. Perhaps you could help by sending it to FEMA. Link to post Share on other sites

stainedyellowteeth 0 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 How come I'm not hearing "Typhoon Nabi"... who has named it that and don't the Japanese use the "names"? Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I was wondering that. Do they just use numbers in Japan? Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 It took my Research Department's supercomputer 3 hours and 44 minutes to find this overview . Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Cheers mate, sorry for all the research time. Until next time then, when I hope you might get on the job a bit quicker. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 It looks like the supercomputer threw out another result. The names themselves. I'm glad I have the resources of a fully equipped Research Department to fall back on instead of thrashing about in the dark like everybody else must have to do. Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Yes it must be good. It's great you can share these resources as well. Well done, chap. Link to post Share on other sites

snobee 0 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Hey OC - your super must have been in slo-mode I got those links a year or so ago in el quicko time. I was being constantly asked by students why "western" hurricanes, cyclones have names and I said so do Japanese typhoons, but they wouldn't believe me. So... What I love about that site is how it infers that the number system is so popular in Japan - as if there was a public referendum and the masses chose numbers over names. Smacks more of bureaucratic officiousness than anything. I asked 31 students last week what was the number of the big one that caused havoc and flooding here in Takamatsu last year. Only 4 could recall # 16. Now if it had a name like er..Koizumi, then no one would have forgotten - perhaps. Did you get swamped this arvo / eve OC? We had a fair bit of rain and moderate winds but the main worry is high tide, peaking in about an hour - maybe the same in Matsuyama. I'm gonna check the canal now about 200m away - the other side houses have all been evacuated coz they lie much lower. I'm predicting a just lapping the top situation.

snobee 0 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Safe. 30 ~ 40cm's to go. I'm going to bed. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 It was a noisy night last night. It sounded like there were demons running round the house. The house didn't shake like hell as it did in 'Tokage' though. We've had a lot of rain, and high wind from about 3 am, but we're done now. I hope the water stays below the lip where you are. We're on high ground so that's not a worry, but getting hit by the wind can be grim. Link to post Share on other sites
joshnii 2 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 It's coming our way now (should be off Niigata proper by tonight) and the winds have been pretty strong since just after midnight. Howling now and the house feels like it's moving. Link to post Share on other sites
