WPAC: MUIFA (Kabayan) - Tropical Depression

[Infdidoll]

Our power is even flickering off base and we have NEVER lost power here!

[RobWESTPACWX]

A lot of deep convection now as well.

Something to note the water is much warmer west of Okinawa as well, the moist air inflow is likely another reason for the continued intensification.

I almost asked if you could pass if you loose power, but ya.... LOL

Wondering if we might see the first hurricane-force sustained winds soon. 59 G 81 is the highest sustained and highest gust so far today.

[StormingB81]

Ohh Kadena has to change thier SLide,,79 knots is no longer the max gust..lol

[StormingB81]

HI Robwestpacwx...when do you forsee things to subside in your region...(by the way my Dad is ret. Air Force Pilot 35 yrs. total,thankyou for your service)

It's the sustained winds that will get ya. This dang thing just needs to move on already!

[Infdidoll]

By the way, it's good to see you, Rob! Hope things are treating you well and that your weather is significantly less...exhausting...than ours has been!

Many people were on the Kadena Air Base page telling them it was NOT over.

As I was posting this, my son started yelling that there was water all over the floor by the front door. We have water coming in heavily from the front door.

O I'm down by Australia right now, not in Yokohama as my location states. Winds 5kts outside right now and clear skies.

I know back home though they got some rain showers today but nothing to exciting.

[Chacor]

Wind continuing to gust at 81 kt per METAR.

INFIDOLL you live on the southern part of the island too right? You may be getting some surge like effect right now. Good luck!

O and underthwx, just to note, most of the people in this forum currently are military in some sort of a way or another, (specifically the people in Okinawa).

[angelwing]

Keeping all you folk in my thoughts and prayers...stay safe!

[StormingB81]

I am still awaiting the lightning!!

Yep, we're about midway between Kadena and Naha. The wind is blowing towards the ocean...but our stairwells and everything are flooding. I can't believe how much water just came in the front door. 5 towels later and it's still wet. I give up until morning.

JMA has the whole of Okinawa under a level 1 tornado probability (1-5%) now.
