I was in Subic Bay when one of those big SOB's hit...I've never experience anything like that again, and hope I never do. Rained so hard you had to hang your head down to to be able to breath.

Any idea what wind speed this thing has?

Man, it's huge! Japan looks like it's going to be wiped out. Super Typhoon Godzilla takes out Japan!

They get some big ass storms out there in the Pacific! Sometimes I see them hit close to the 200 mph mark.

Wipes everything out!
