Super Typhoon Vongfong . . . |
As of 3 a.m. Japanese time Wednesday (2 p.m. EDT Tuesday in the U.S.), the eye of Vongfong was about 700 miles south-southeast of Kadena Air Base on
Okinawa, moving west at about 10 mph.
Maximum sustained winds had skyrocketed to an estimated 180 mph, the equivalent of a potentially catastrophic Category 5 hurricane, according to the
U.S. military's Joint Typhoon Warning Center.
Vongfong became the fifth super typhoon (150 mph max sustained winds or higher) of 2014.
According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, Vongfong has now surpassed Genevieve for the most intense western Pacific typhoon of 2014 by estimated
central pressure (900 millibars). On the JMA typhoon intensity scale, Vongfong is the third "violent typhoon" of 2014, following Genevieve and Halong.
"It's safe to say Vongfong is the strongest storm on earth since Haiyan last year," said Michael Lowry, storm specialist for The Weather Channel.
Haiyan killed over 6,000 people when it slammed into the Philippines in November 2013 with maximum sustained winds estimated at 195 mph by JTWC.

The dirt roads to Punta San Carlos can become dangerous after even a "normal" overnight rainfall. Stretches of the road that quickly become very
muddy, including a few on significant vertical inclines and declines. I cannot imagine what must be the condition of those roads after 12.5 inches of
rain in one night.
Any word on Highway 1 from Ensenada to La Paz or any points in-between?

Rumor Control must not be operational due to all the wind.

If it did rain that much at PSC you wouldn't be able even to walk to the chitter for a week!
Sounds like a pancake batter mess!

Doing Great David K.
We just got back last night. San Quintin didn't look any worse for the ware from Simon. Saw a few mudd holes, but all roads passable. Caught a few
yellow toads. Hope all is well with you and yours.

I did not get past Don Eddie's, but others in the camp had been out and had no issues. Road to Lorenzzo's was muddy but passable. On the return trip
( During the day ) San Vincente north looked dryer than a popcorn fart.
