Kyodo News, Oct. 15, 2013 at 8:46a JST: Typhoon Wipha, the 26th typhoon of the year, was traveling northward around 260 km east of Minamidaito at a speed of 25 kph as of 6 a.m. Tuesday, according to [Japan's Meteorological Agency]. It had an atmospheric pressure at its center of 940 hectopascals and was packing winds of up to 216 kph.

Kitsap Sun, Oct. 14, 2013: [...] a hybrid storm, with characteristics of both a tropical storm and an extratropical system [...] similar to some of the features that Hurricane Sandy had [...] Wipha could bring an expanded area of high winds and pounding surf along with several inches of rain to [...] the vulnerable nuclear plant [...] Ryan Maue, a meteorologist at WeatherBell Analytics [...] told Climate Central that the storm poses a “huge flood potential” for the Fukushima area. [...] “Wipha is extra-large size-wise,” Maue said, predicting it will grow and strengthen as it makes its closest pass to Japan [...] A major storm with high surf, strong winds, and heavy rainfall likely would complicate cleanup efforts, or possibly pose an even greater danger to the facility. [...]  hybrid storm systems may not be good news for Tokyo and Fukushima [...] can cause storms to intensify and expand in size, resulting in a broader wind field and a higher potential for storm surge. Computer models show the potential for 40-foot waves off the coast of Japan [...]

Japan needs to take the hint.  Nature is out to get that place and teach humanity a lesson, even at her own detriment.  This is not good folks, keep an eye on this.  Wipha has 134 MPH winds and is expected to strengthen.  40 foot waves, tons of rain and wind, I dont know if Fukushima can take a direct hit from that.  Scary stuff..  -Mort

      They didn’t update the tanks.
      .
      They didn’t build a sea-wall barrier.
      .
      They didn’t plan for a disaster at all.
      .
      They are lying to their own citizens who will die of cancer and other maladies for more generations…
      .
      Japan, you’re better at engineering than we are in most respects, why can’t you figure out this problem? OH! The radiation is slowing the brains of those who could do the most good… I got it.
