Went through a really bad typhoon on Okinawa there as a dependent in the late 50s, early 60s (hard to recall now) and more a decade later in the late 60s and early 70.....
Lived in a completely poured concrete house (roof and walls) and the wind blew so hard the brass door flanges on the solid core front door actually howled like a banshee with the vibration. The other typhoons when I was there in the military were strong and I had to go in and work comms on a 4/4 on/off basis at work in the air terminal.....
My folk and I road the storm out in ‘58 in Yokohama...
