It went right over the top of Yoron Island with the full center of the eye calm etc. Should be some stories from there.

down to 120 knots..

WDPN31 PGTW 071500
MSGID/GENADMIN/JOINT TYPHOON WRNCEN PEARL HARBOR HI//
SUBJ/PROGNOSTIC REASONING FOR TYPHOON 23W (DANAS) WARNING NR 17//
RMKS//
1. FOR METEOROLOGISTS.
2. 6 HOUR SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS.
TYPHOON 23W (DANAS), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 323 NM SOUTH-SOUTHWEST
OF SASEBO, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED NORTH-NORTHWESTWARD AT 17 KNOTS OVER
THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED ENHANCED INFRARED (EIR) SATELLITE
IMAGERY SHOWS THE SYSTEM HAS MAINTAINED A HIGHLY SYMMETRICAL
SIGNATURE WITH TIGHTLY CURVED BANDS WRAPPING INTO A WELL-DEFINED 20-
NM EYE. HOWEVER, THE EIR DOES INDICATE THAT THE DEEP CONVECTION HAS
BEGUN TO SHALLOW, MOST LIKELY DUE TO LAND INTERACTION AS TY 23W
TRACKED NEAR OKINAWA, JAPAN AS WELL AS THE PRESENCE OF INCREASING
VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (VWS) AND COOLING SSTS. ADDITIONALLY, RADIAL
VENTING HAS WANED THOUGH THE STRONG POLEWARD OUTFLOW CHANNEL INTO
THE WESTERLIES HAS MAINTAINED OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE INITIAL
POSITION IS BASED ON THE EYE FEATURE IN THE EIR WITH HIGH
CONFIDENCE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS BASED ON CONGRUENT DVORAK
ESTIMATES FROM ALL AGENCIES AND REFLECTS THE CURRENT SLIGHT
WEAKENING TREND. UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS INDICATES THE SYSTEM IS
BEGINNING TO CREST THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE (STR) AXIS IN AN AREA OF
MODERATE TO HIGH (20-30 KNOT) VWS. THE CYCLONE IS TRACKING ALONG THE
WESTERN PERIPHERY OF A DEEP-LAYERED STR TO THE EAST.
3. FORECAST REASONING.
A. THERE IS NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO THE FORECAST PHILOSOPHY FROM
THE PREVIOUS PROGNOSTIC REASONING MESSAGE.
B. TYPHOON DANAS IS FORECAST TO CREST THE STR AXIS JUST PRIOR TO
TAU 12. TY 23W WILL THEN BEGIN TO WEAKEN AND TURN NORTHEAST WHILE
EXPERIENCING GRADUALLY INCREASING VWS, COINCIDENT WITH THE POLEWARD
RECURVE MOTION, AS WELL AS INCREASING INTERACTION WITH THE
BAROCLINIC BOUNDARY AND THE STRONG MID-LATITUDE WESTERLIES. AFTER
TAU 12, TY 23W WILL ACCELERATE NORTHEASTWARD TOWARDS SASEBO, JAPAN,
AND BEGIN EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION (ETT). THE SYSTEM WILL COMPLETE
ETT BY TAU 36. AFTER TAU 36, THE NOW STORM-FORCE COLD-CORE LOW WILL
CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE ON A EAST-NORTHEASTWARD TRAJECTORY, CROSSING
THE SEA OF JAPAN AND THE NORTHERN TIP OF HONSHU BEFORE EMERGING BACK
OVER THE PACIFIC OCEAN. THE INCREASING VWS AND COOL SSTS WILL
CONTINUE TO CAUSE THE SYSTEMS DETERIORATION THROUGH THIS PERIOD.
NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE REMAINS IN TIGHT AGREEMENT WITH SLIGHT
VARIATIONS AT THE RECURVE POINT. ECMWF HAS MOVED SLIGHTLY CLOSER TO
THE MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS (CONW) OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS WHILE THE
REST OF THE CONW MEMBERS HAVE MAINTAINED A TIGHT GROUPING. THE JTWC
FORECAST IS LAID SLIGHTLY FASTER THAN AND JUST TO THE RIGHT OF CONW -
AND BIASED TOWARDS ECMWF - WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE.//

I checked yoron island on google maps it's about 3 miles across and has an airport on the west end. Would be nice to see a pressure report 8-)

I've never heard of this before. They've been waiting for it? Well I can assure them that if they wanted a strong typhoon, their request was granted, since this is a Category 4! :37:



I will say this being stationed there from 2009-2012..Those buildings are very sturdy and won't budge...We had wind gust up to 133 mph During Typhoon Songda and the damage was minimal compared to if it were to hit the states. I mean there was a lot of broken glass and damaged cars but as building structures go they did fine nothing to worry about. I talked to a friend there on the southern part of the Island they didn't even go into TCCOR-1E (Winds of 50 knots are greater) She said the winds weren't bad at all. I cant speak for the northern half but I could tell you that up there probably (by the bases) wasn't that bad because if one base feels it they all go in the typhoon condition so not one base had over 50 knot (58 mph) winds. If they did well they didn't up the typhoon readiness like they do. AND yes as sad as it is people were disappointed with this because the winds were not there it was just like a windy day. Like I said though I can't guarantee that the winds were under 50 knots I can tell you I believe they weren't because they never went to TCOOR 1E.

From Stars and Stripes....

Danas rumbled 54 miles northeast of Kadena Air Base at 3:45 p.m. Monday. Strongest sustained winds on Kadena were 43 mph and highest gusts were 49 mph. Further north, things were far worse; 55-mph sustained winds and 104-mph gusts felt from Nago up to Oku.

Hi, folks!

James Reynolds, Mark Thomas, and I (Josh Morgerman) chased Typhoon DANAS on the N tip of Okinawa Island yesterday.

Attached is my pressure trace from DANAS’s passage near our location. While the typhoon’s track stayed just offshore of the main island, the edge of the eye brushed it. We were in the small town of Uko, very close to the shoreline (26.841N 128.289E). Our lowest pressure, 950.6 mb, occurred at 4:14 pm JST, very near the time of a noticeable calming and a change in the wind direction as we clipped the edge of the eye (4:04 pm). This calming came after a short period of violent whiteout conditions, which we assume was the inner eyewall. The typhoon was severe (Cat 4), small, and fast-moving, so a big drop of ~40 mb happened in less than two and a half hours. I calibrated my barometer (a Kestrel 4500) using a reference altitude of 10 ft, which I estimated from viewing the nearby beach.

Here’s my pressure trace:

As we were on the very edge of the eye, I assume the central pressure was quite a bit lower. Yoron-jima—a tiny island right in the center’s path—probably saw a spectacular show with that stadium eye.

And here’s a rough cut of James Reynolds’ video from the chase:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Mst13yIy38[/youtube]

P.S. DANAS was actually our second chase in two days. On Saturday and Sunday, we were on Miyako-jima, chasing Typhoon FITOW, a large Cat 2. We also managed to just clip the eye of that one. It was pretty exciting to penetrate the inner cores of Cat-2 and Cat-4 typhoons within less than 48 hours!

Here’s James Reynolds' footage from that chase:
