Everyone reads about them or watches there devastating after effects on the news. We live in the midst of some of the most powerful of all natural disasters. Typhoons as they are called on this side of the world. Depending on your location possibly Hurricane or Cyclone are the name of your monster. I know most everyone has saw the movie "Perfect Storm" yes, that was a big one based on a true story. Here in Okinawa we live in the alley. Remember back in the states when the garbage truck comes in one side and out the other, its similar here usually forming in the South down around the Philippine's and moving North until it dissipates. I am no professional by any means but, have lived here long enough to see some big ones. I believe they are necessary to clean out the old and bring in the new. For example, the seas around Okinawa during the hot summer months usually gather with sediment, algae, and other unnatural happenings. A Typhoon will keep the ocean temps. cool for coral to flourish. Some months heading into the ocean feels like sitting in a hot bath tub. Not good for anything to grow. Just like your vehicles engine needs a good flushing after 3000 to 5000 Km or so. I welcome the Typhoon and again say I am no expert on the subject. Search Kadena Weather for detailed information.
