Finally got the better video uploaded where I actually used a tripod and wasn't shaking the camera all over:

And that wasn't even near what it's doing now. Be interesting to compare same shots tomorrow and note the damage!

great video, thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the well wishes everyone. It does mean a lot.

My ears are killing me right now....pressure! I think I'm going to try to take a nap. My husband, usually in bed by 9:00 is still awake and drinking coffee. Insane.

Thanks for reporting the METARS Chacor...Interesting real time perspective of what's going on, right now.

muifa now south of okinawa. it must be so windy and rainy over there right now.

everyone in okinawa, be safe.

next target: china

[Chacor]

Still over 100+km SSE of Naha, not quite south of Okinawa yet.

muifa has such monsterous outflow. thats a good ingredient for muifa to continue to intensify.


CI# /Pressure/ Vmax
5.5 / 938.2mb/102.0kt


Final T# Adj T# Raw T#
4.5 3.6 2.7

[Chacor]

That's an awful raw T number, just shows how inadequate ADT can be in some situations.

Nice steady camera work like a real pro. Good shot variety. Throw in a voice over and you're in business!

if you lose power, be sure to report in as soon as you can when you get it back. How long after Songda (is that right?) were you without?

[StormingB81]

Songda was only 5-6 hours however that was a quick storm..

[artist]

ok, so hopefully you won't be without too long after it passes though. I don't envy you the long passage at all.

I see Muifa has stalled out again for the last hour or so. Just got woken up by a huge gust racing down the street of Naha. Time to head out and start filming!

Pressure now dropping rapidly at Kadena. Winds have gone down a touch, but will probably go up again soon. Looking forward to seeing the footage! Hopefully there won't be a lot of damage though...

[KWT]

Its probably actually better to be near the center of this system given the size of the eye at the moment!

Just as I posted that the pressure went up lol, proabably just stalling like James said though.
