WPAC: Ex-Typhoon KOMPASU (1007/08W)

[KWT]

Yeah CZ its 6.25am here!

I'm getting one last little fix as I'll probably gone for the next 48hrs or so, just when all the action is happening...as per normal!

[supercane]

Isn't that always what happens? Too bad, appreciate your posts. Anyways, enjoy the next two days.

It just occurred to me, ITOP started this week. I think the Hurricane Hunters should be in Guam and we might get some real interesting data...time to dig up their bulletin information.

No It is taking forever to get these updates to see what a punch we will get from this storm

Nice! The last time we had WPac recon in 2008 for T-PARC they found Cat 5 Jangmi. Let's hope they fly a few missions.

Husband just got back from the commissary and said it was packed. Apparently people are getting word of it...and restocking all the typhoon supplies they've been eating when too busy to make a grocery run...kind of like us!

If we're going to get hit - I say bring it on before he deploys so I don't have to face it alone. It's hot and muggy out there. Sure the afternoon heat will contribute to the intensification...or it will just fall apart like everything else has and I'll be all geared up for nothing again.

Well they saying teh worse will be here at 0300 in the am tomorrow and we are on teh worse side of teh storm. I already talked to some people and it is goign to be a long QUICK day at work probably be out be mid day before the outter bands start to hit.

Infdidoll: I had all my stuff already so I dont have to deal with all the people getting stuff...lol I took everything off my patio though and I am ready for whatever is thrown at us.

[Infdidoll]

Wow...I checked just a half hour and the wind analysis they had up estimated it at 31 kts...looks really well-organized.

[StormingB81]

The Kadena site says we could get 50-70 knots...the JTWC says like 75 knots-90 Knots..who to believe..lol

[StormingB81]

WOW! Look at the vis on the NRL site its starting to look impressive! I wonder wha tthe winds are. Have to bear near 50 kts!

JMA estimating winds are about 50 mph with gusts to 70 mph right now, but that's right now. We'll probably get a Category 1 out of this. I've got friends saying, "Yeah, no big deal..." but I've never experienced a direct hit from a Cat 1 so that's something to me! Things did get pretty hairy last year when Melor went by...It was a category 4, pretty far off shore and still was enough to do a little damage. Being safe and doing a clean up anyway.

WHile it may not be a big storm 80-100 mph winds which we will prolly get tomorrow for someone who never experienced is hair raising. Ive been through only 1 typhoon/Hurricane and it had 90-110 mph winds so im guessing ill see about teh same stuff and let me tell you that can still do some damage. Its still a big deal

[StormingB81]

Does anyone have the updated map on JTWC..I seem to cant load it on my computer. wanna see if there are any changes from the 11am advisory

[StormingB81]
