We had written a few days ago of Japan's coming woes. Even as Typhoon Phanfone batters the country another tropical storm hovers in the Pacific. Typhoon Vongfong.
Forecasts say this Vongfong is going to be another super typhoon. As bad as Phanfone.
The JTWC says on its way to Japan, Vongfong will have winds of 230 kph to 280 kph. A super typhoon. A US category 5 storm.
Vongfong is slowly going to move towards Japan in the next few days until it nears the country on October 10, 2014. After that it will kind of stand still for the next three days till October 13, 2014. That is the most worrying part. A tropical storm just stands near still near the coast. In 1999 the super cyclone of the Orissa coast just hovered around for some time at the Orissa coast without weakening. That 1999 storm devastated Orissa.
Hope history does not repeat itself.
Typhoon Vongfong is bad news for Japan.
Philippines will not be affected by Typhoon Vongfong. Guam is in the way.
