Stormy Weather

Friday, 17. August 2007, 03:23:01

Oh oh...

A "Super Typhoon" is heading toward Taiwan and China.

This is the weather dot com satellite view, if you want to see it:

Copy and past it.

I hope it will dissipate soon!

Here is a map that I made to show that it is far away from me, but near Southeast China, and Taiwan. They rank it a category 5 typhoon. After it hits Taiwan it will drop to a Cat 4 and hit China.

If it gets all the way over to me (doubtful) it will be weakened to a tropical storm. These tracks usually turn North, not West.

These are the same, but which will work for you best, I don't know...

=============

The last of the storm has passed. It did turn Southwest, and brought days of thunderstorms to Shenzhen. This morning had the last of the windy rain saying "Good bye, have a nice day."

Only a few thunderbolts, just to celebrate the tour of China, I guess...

Good luck, Jon!

Thanks Elly. We are getting a few little rains and clouds so far. It will probably go North of us. It is far away from me.

The folks in Xiamen are going to get the direct hit.

The Earth is amazing! We have been having a lot of weather here. Yesterday it sounded like the thunder was blasting a hole in the atmosphere! Wind and pouring rain. I actually felt a breeze through my house, the wind was soooooooooooo strong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Jon!!

Please do take care..

I hate thunder storms!!!

Jon # 17. August 2007, 12:08

hi Elly

The thunder here lately seemed louder than usual as well.

Maybe our hearing is improving!

(Look at the bright side, right?)

Ha ha Hitesha!

I really like your little blue face under the chair! It hasn't gotten that bed here yet, and I hope it doesn't

did you see the movie about "Killer Lightening?" I forgot the real title. I guess there is a lot of support for the idea that Earth will take care of itself. (against human environmental harm...)

Hitesha # 17. August 2007, 16:43

but do take care please??!!

Jon # 18. August 2007, 00:54

Hitesha

I will. I hope you take care too. Modern society is also dangerous, especially for young ladies.

You be careful!

;-D

Hitesha # 18. August 2007, 02:04

Keep us updated!!

The storm is coming this way and will be just a windy thunderstorm when it arrives. It is huge. The eye is still between Taiwan and China and the outer ring is way over here in Shenzhen.

Take a look:

Well, it turned in to a huge area of thunderstorms, with winds between 10 and 20 mph. In Shenzhen we will have scattered thunderstorms for a few days.

It is really awesome to see how big the typhoon became even though it is no longer a typhoon. I stretches between Shenzhen and Shanghai, which is 1191 kilometers or 740 miles or 643 nautical miles.

This is about the same as the distance from Virginia Beach to Tampa
which is 1153 kilometers or 716 miles or 623 nautical miles

Jon # 20. August 2007, 01:04

This morning it has had two thunderstorms already.

Not bad ones.

I pity the SE China area. So much flooding recently.
