Shame.

You all would flip out if a poster from N Korea wished a hurricane on the Gulf Coast, so why would you all wish one on N Korea?

People....yes people....live there.

doubtfull

fun thought, that typhoon has more energy then all of his bombs.

I wish a cat5 right into kim ils houses!

I wish a cat5 right into kim ils houses!

And his 20,000 movies he has.

Another typhoon tips would shut him up in his no-dongs both. Sounds like a good idea, wents to aim a nuke at me.

Right now it looks like Ewiniar has done his ERC and now his eye looks like Hurricane Katrina's eye. He looks stronger then during the past 36 hours. He is still pegged at 100 Knots which is lower then before which I think is wrong. I would guess Ewiniar is at 115 Knots to 120 Knots currently due to a great-looking typhoon.

Oh, and he reminds me of Hurricane Katrina for some reason. The bottom part though looks much different.

Another typhoon tips would shut him up in his no-dongs both. Sounds like a good idea, wents to aim a nuke at me.

And don't forget his 20,000 movies!

[P.K.]

Please remember that where ever this makes landfall normal people will be affected.

The current track is taking it between China and South Korea although closer to China http://www.jma.go.jp/en/typh/0603_l.html.

[Dr. Jonah Rainwater]

A track between China and South Korea into the Yellow Sea would actually make a North Korea landfall possible....

How often has that happened?

[P.K.]

As this is now aproaching land the JMA have started to give out hourly positions. http://www.jma.go.jp/en/typh/0603_l.html?type=2

Some recent typhoons to affect North Korea:

Typhoon Prapiroon 2000
Typhoon Rusa 2002
Super Typhoon Maemi 2003

Typhoons that affect North Korea usually do so after making landfall on South Korea or by entering the country as tropical storms. However, Typhoon Prapiroon in 2000 made landfall on North Korea as a Category 1 typhoon.

All 3 typhoons listed above were very deadly and destructive on North Korea as well as South Korea.

I think this is the radar of Okinawa.

Hong Kong Observatory now expecting a North/South Korea border landfall as a borderline TS.



The rest (JMA, China, Korea) keep it further east in the Yellow Sea.

[HurricaneBill]

China, Korea, and Japan. Those are the areas where "billion dollar" typhoons usually happen.

[RattleMan]

On the NRL page, a note at the top says "NOTE: 04W NONAME is EWINIAR." I can't see why they aren't able to just change it to 04W.EWINIAR...what an odd problem...
