It wouldnt hurt nothing but it would have people prepared and make them pay attention to what is happening. This is a VERY MAJOR typhoon and Okinawa is just sitting on it. If it hits someone will have to answer questions if they wait till the last minute.
Nothing has changed very much in the forecast. The model consensus is for a recurving, weakening, 105 to 115 knot typhoon passing 200 to 300 miles to your east on Tuesday, so you will be on the weaker side with northerly winds. It's still too early to tell what will really happen, but apparently the JTWC and JMA are still confident in that forecast right now. Unless MELOR gets further west than the models are progging, they just don't expect severe typhoon conditions in your area. At least that's what it looks like from what they're doing.
