Typhoon LONGWANG was born in Mariana Islands. It is forecast to move westward for the moment. This makes three typhoons active in the western north Pacific, which means that we are in the middle of the peak season of typhoons.
Speaking about the peak season of typhoons, in Japan, today is known to be a unique day in terms of typhoon (landfall). This is because three famous typhoons made landfall at Japan on September 26; namely Toyamaru Typhoon (195415 / MARIE), Kanogawa Typhoon (195822 / IDA), and Isewan Typhoon (195915 / VERA). The list of typhoon damage reveals that these three typhoons are in fact the top three in the ranking of dead or missing people since 1951 -- such huge damage.
This typhoon is still tiny just after the birth, and it is difficult to predict the track and intensification of the typhoon at this time of life cycle, but we need to pay attention to the forecast for preparation.
It's OK they have protection.
It's big now but it will get bigger just before it blows itself out.

I remember that typhoon in 69 "onehunglow".
What about Hugh G. Rection?
Evacuation is necessary. Be careful not to drop the soap.
Damn, I can't link worth a dman today.
It gets better!

"Typhoon LONGWANG is still a small typhoon, but the clouds got more rounded and spiralled. It is forecast to keep intensification for the moment, and the typhoon gets more powerful if it starts to be bigger."
This is just begging for commentary.
When you click on the face at snopes, it works.
Sounds like one of North Koreas new missiles.
Longwang?
Will it hit the coast *hard*?
Is it headed straight for the Niponese?
Yeah. Somebody's gonna get screwed...
Can't wait to see the weather babes trying to get by this one :)
Yesterday on the weather channel the woman who was doing the Tropical Update (dramatic music) reported on this storm. After having to say "Longwang" she actually said something along the lines of "we don't name these storms, and I think whoever does tries to make it hard on us."
Now, I am a simple person, but I do not think that I would use the term "hard on" in the same report as the name "Longwang."
