Super Typhoon Neoguri Targets Japan

Neoguri has strengthened into the first super typhoon of 2014 and poses a serious threat to lives and property in Japan.

Neoguri intensified into super typhoon strength with maximum sustained winds of 240 kph (150 mph) and life-threatening consequences early Monday morning local time (Sunday afternoon EDT).

Further strengthening will occur through Monday as the super typhoon progresses through an area of very warm water and low wind shear (strong winds above the surface that can shred tropical systems apart).

Don't pay much attention to the EP but this could be bad. Those small islands to the south of Japan could be wiped out with a big surge.

Japan issues highest alert over typhoon Neoguri

TOKYO (AFP) - Japan was bracing on Tuesday for one of its worst storms in over a decade as typhoon Neoguri barreled towards the southern Okinawa island chain, with 55,000 people urged to evacuate as the weather agency issued its highest alert. The top-level warning means a threat to life, as well as the risk of massive damage from torrential rains and gusts of up to 250kmh. The Japan Meteorological Agency issued the alert for Okinawa’s main island, home to around 1.2 million people, as well as the outlying Miyako islands.

The chart that I saw had the storm changing directions to NNE and going over the whole country.  It could be really bad.   8-[
