Suspect the $ is to reflect the broken altimeter.

if there is anything else you want, just let me know, I know how it feels when you can't get information during a storm.

Looks like Okinawa is finally out of TCCOR 1-E and into TCCOR 1-R. Still gale force winds though so take care.

Muifa engulfed the main island of Okinawa for nearly 2 full days.

Strong winds and heavy rain have injured 51 people.

In Motobu, the northern town on the main island, a record rainfall of more than 720 millimeters fell from Thursday through Saturday. That's one third of the average precipitation for a year.

A storm battering the northeast Chinese coast today whipped up waves that threatened a dyke protecting a chemical plant, forcing residents to flee while soldiers and firefighters rushed to fill the breach, news media said.

The waves slamming the coast near the port city of Dalian in Liaoning province were brought by tropical storm Muifa as it skated off the coast, hitting a half-built dyke protecting the Jinzhou development zone, official news agency Xinhua reported.

Behind a growing hole in the protective wall is a storage area containing around 20 metal tanks holding oil-based chemicals at the Fujia industrial chemical plant, said the website of the People's Daily newspaper.

"If the breach cannot be blocked up, toxic chemical products may spill, and that would be extremely dangerous," the newspaper website reported from Dalian.

A Chinese television report said the threat was "under control".

Over 1,000 firefighters, troops and border guards rushed to prevent sea water from creating a bigger hole that could trigger a spill of toxic chemicals from the Fujia plant, said the People's Daily website.

Lets hope it really is under control and no damage done to the chemical plant and that no leaks occured.

Hope is well and everyone is safe. Looks like the Atlantic basin is getting busy.
