Re: WPAC: MUJIGAE - Tropical Depression
Very impressed with the preparation for this storm. Imagine a typhoon that was forecast to only make landfall only as a Cat 1 but explosively intensifies to a Cat 4?
If this had hit the U.S, that's billion of dollars in loss but this only +24 million and a very low death toll.
People here are so used to typhoons that you see them roaming and traveling during the typhoon with power majorily on. In the U.S, it's all sheer panic...
Well it's ok. We can handle it without the hype.

Western Pacific Weather reported a 131 kt windspeed (probably a gust, although it does not specify) was recorded in China as Typhoon Mujigae made landfall.

Re: WPAC: MUJIGAE - Tropical Depression
Credit to JTWC for upping the intensity to a category 4 115 knots, although i think it's stronger than that...
How about JMA? only 70 knots 10 min when converted to 1 min is equal to only a Cat 1 hurricane/typhoon. Very poor decision with a rapidly intensifying typhoon with a well defined eye.

Re: WPAC: MUJIGAE - Tropical Depression
Mujigae is now the costliest tropical cyclone of 2015 thus far. Economic cost in China now estimated at $4.2 billion.
It's the strongest storm to strike the province of Guangdong in the month of October on record.

Re: WPAC: MUJIGAE - Tropical Depression
Found this terrifying video from Zhanjiang. Imagine preparing for just a minimal typhoon that suddenly rapidly intensifies to a Cat 4 without notice.

This number actually agrees very well with JTWC's 115 kt when run through KZC.
