Okay, NOW it is finally starting to feel like we have a typhoon bearing down on us. Winds have increased dramatically within about the last half hour.

Yes they have and loloking at the radar business is really going to start picking up...last couple of hours looks like it has been drifting back east..like i said i think it depends on the wobble what kind of storm we get

I've got my tripod and video camera all set up...but there really isn't much to film, right now. I don't have any trees to show bending sideways...What I do have is a nothing-but-ocean view so if we get some good waves before it gets too dark here in a few hours, I will get some video. Charging my camera a little more, right now...

REMARKS:
280900Z POSITION NEAR 25.6N 125.8E.
TYPHOON (TY) 04W (SONGDA), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 185 NM WEST-
SOUTHWEST OF KADENA AIR BASE, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED NORTH-NORTHEASTWARD
AT 19 KNOTS OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED MULTISPECTRAL IMAGERY
(MSI) SHOWS PRONOUNCED ACCELERATION AND WEAKENING OF THE STORM
DURING THE PAST SIX HOURS. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS THE
UPPER LEVELS OF THE TYPHOON HAVE LINKED WITH THE UPPER LEVEL
SOUTHWESTERLIES AHEAD OF AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH APPROACHING FROM THE
WEST. THE HIGH AMPLITUDE TROUGH IS CURRENTLY ALONG THE EAST COAST OF
CHINA AND DEEPENING. SOUTHWESTERLIES ALONG ITS LEADING EDGE ARE
MERGING WITH UPPER CIRCULATION OF THE STORM AND IMPINGING ON THE
NORTHWESTERN QUADRANT. OUTFLOW REMAINS VIGOROUS HOWEVER, AS THE
TROUGH IS TEMPORARILY FACILITATING DEVELOPMENT A POLEWARD OUTFLOW
CHANNEL. DURING THE PAST THREE HOURS, THE EYE HAS FILLED, AND
ANIMATED INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS RAPIDLY WARMING CLOUD TOPS
THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM. A 280614Z 37GHZ TRMM IMAGE SHOWS A BROAD
INTRUSION OF DRY AIR WRAPPING INTO THE NORTHEASTERN QUADRANT OF THE
SYSTEM, AND THE 85 GHZ IMAGE FROM THE SAME PASS SHOWS THAT DEEP
CONVECTION HAS SUBSIDED OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE STORM. THE
CURRENT INTENSITY ANALYSIS IS BASED ON DVORAK ESTIMATES OF 77 KNOTS
FROM PGTW AND RJTD, A 280300Z ESTIMATE OF 102 KNOTS FROM KNES, AND
SURFACE OBSERVATIONS FROM ISHIGAKIJIMA (ROIG). ROIG REPORTED GUSTS
AS HIGH AS 84 KNOTS DURING PASSAGE, WHEN THE STORM WAS TRACKING
ROUGHLY 20 NM TO THE WEST BY SOUTHWEST. TY 04W WILL REMAIN IN
FAVORABLE SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES FOR THE NEXT 12 HOURS. VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR (VWS) IS CURRENTLY 20 TO 25 KNOTS. ONCE NORTH OF OKINAWA,
TY 04W WILL ENCOUNTER SIGNIFICANTLY COOLER WATERS AND SIGNIFICANTLY
HIGHER VWS SIMULTANEOUS WITH BEGINNING EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION
(XTT). THE DEEP UPSTREAM TROUGH AND VIGOROUS POLAR FRONT JET ARE
GIVING COMPUTER MODELS DIFFICULTY WITH XTT, INDUCING EXCESSIVE
DIRECT CYCLONE INTERACTION (E-DCI). THIS IS RESULTING IN THE DYNAMIC
MODELS STEERING THE SYSTEM TOWARDS SHIKOKU AND THE KANSAI REGION OF
HONSHU. THE JTWC FORECAST STAYS WITH CONSENSUS THROUGH 12 HOURS,
THEN STAYS RIGHT AND FASTER THAN CONSENSUS IN ORDER TO COMPENSATE
FOR THE E-DCI. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT 280600Z IS 37 FEET.
NEXT WARNINGS AT 281500Z, 282100Z, 290300Z AND 290900Z.

Back at hotel in one piece. Savage conditions on Miyakojima since about 1pm, we got well and truly nailed by the front right quad. Working on some quite sexy footage now! :P
