I don't want any people harmed, but it would really be neat if it could take out some nuclear missile facilities.

I just wonder if Wenzhou will be able to go back to being a Moo Goo Gai Pan city.

So how does the "Super Typhoon" scale compare with that of regular typhoons?

That would imply they actually cared. I can just see the guys up in Beijing...
Chairman: "How many will be displaced/killed ?"
Lapdog: "About 500 - 750K"
Chairman: "Reduce the area's depopulation quota for the year, we're ahead of schedule"
Lapdog: "Yes, master"

Did China ask Mayor Nagin and Governor Blanco for advice on how to run an evacuation?

This may be wrong but I was always told a super typhoon was two or more large storms that combined strength.

If this thing takes a really unlucky turn, the Three Gorges Dam might go (apparently has a *lot* of cracks and might not be stable at all). Then you're looking at millions dead.

There will be NO problems. When they order, you MUST move. All the mayors of towns know that they can use the school buses to move the people, and everyone else is afraid it will give the government a reason to make them organ donors.
So, no problems.
