Research ship's crew safe after Hurricane Ioke passes
Twelve people aboard an Air Force research ship who took shelter on Johnston Island during Hurricane Ioke yesterday headed back to the ship's home port on O'ahu, according to the Coast Guard.
The 96-foot vessel, The Searcher, was near Johnston Island Tuesday, apparently doing repair work for the island, when the hurricane moved into the area, said Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Marsha Delaney.
The Coast Guard yesterday afternoon flew a C-130 plane over the island and dropped radios. The antenna on the group's ship had come down during the storm, cutting off communication.
"The master (of the ship) reported that the vessel is fine, everybody is fine," Delaney said, adding that the group made arrangements to leave Johnston Island and was expected to head back to O'ahu yesterday.
Coast Guard Petty Officer Luke Clayton said it's unclear when The Searcher will arrive in Honolulu.
Two Coast Guard boats that were being dispatched to the island in case the group's vessel was damaged have been called off and will likely be sent home, Delaney said.
The group took shelter in a bunker designed to withstand a Category 4 hurricane.
Winds in the Category 2 Hurricane Ioke were near 105 mph, with higher gusts Tuesday as it slowly moved northwest of the island, according to the weather service's Central Pacific Hurricane Center in Ho-nolulu.
At 11 p.m. last night, Ioke was centered about 225 miles northwest of the island, or about 955 miles west-southwest of Ho-nolulu.
Johnston Island, which is part of the isolated Johnston Atoll, is uninhabited. It is under primary jurisdiction and control of the Air Force. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has a national wildlife refuge there.
The atoll has been used by the U.S. military for weapons tests and as the site of a chemical weapons disposal plant. During the 1950s, nuclear warheads were detonated high above the islands. The chemical disposal unit was shut down and its military personnel removed in June 2004, according to the Web site of the Air Force's 15th Airlift Wing.

Typhoon Ioke Churns Toward Wake Island
POSTED: 6:14 pm HST August 29, 2006
UPDATED: 6:48 pm HST August 29, 2006
HONOLULU -- Typhoon Ioke, the strongest Central Pacific tropical storm in more than a decade, continues to barrel toward recently-evacuated Wake Island.
The storm is predicted to submerge the 2.5-square-mile atoll and destroy everything on it that isn't concrete, forecasters said. National Weather Service lead forecaster Jeff Powell calls it "a monster storm."
The isle's entire population of some 200 residents left via two Air Force evacuation flights to Hawaii on Monday. All were either U.S. military personnel, defense department civilians or military contractors.
The typhoon is expected to reach Wake Island at 1 a.m. on Thursday, Hawaii time, with winds of up to 161 mph and gusts of up to 195 mph.

wc is my initials wrote:Isn't typhoon Ioke about to break that cat4/5 longevity record?
Going by the maps here and here, Ioke has been category 4 for 153 hours (advisories 9 through 11 equals 15 hours because it was downgraded at advisory 11A, and advisories 20 through 42 equals 138 hours). That's 6 days and 9 hours, with another 4 days as a cat 4 if the JTWC forecast holds.
In this topic, they found a typhoon that was analyzed as a cat-4-plus for what looks to be 27 advisories, which is 162 hours. Ioke just might break the record indeed.

Big Wave News
Red Bull Tai Fu Goes on Amber Alert: Team Readies
Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 30 August, 2006 : - - This is an alert to all concerned that there is a significant typhoon present that may warrant a green light for the big-wave project Tai Fu in the next few days. A green light will mean immediate departure for Japan. All surfers and crew should have their bags packed ready to go in case.

HONOLULU -- Typhoon Ioke, the strongest Central Pacific tropical storm in more than a decade, continues to barrel toward recently-evacuated Wake Island.
The storm is predicted to submerge the 2.5-square-mile atoll and destroy everything on it that isn't concrete, forecasters said. National Weather Service lead forecaster Jeff Powell calls it "a monster storm."
The isle's entire population of some 200 residents left via two Air Force evacuation flights to Hawaii on Monday. All were either U.S. military personnel, defense department civilians or military contractors.
The typhoon is expected to reach Wake Island at 1 a.m. on Thursday, Hawaii time, with winds of up to 161 mph and gusts of up to 195 mph.

I think so too...it might very well make it to Japan or even the Asian mainland as a strong typhoon (maybe not a super typhoon)...
