00:00The steady rain and wind associated with Typhoon Babby is really moving in right now here in southwestern Okinawa, Japan.
00:08We are on Isidaki on the island here, and you can see the big wind.
00:13We had a period of supercells near the coastline earlier this morning, and it has transitioned to very heavy rain,
00:20and I think that flooding is going to be a big threat here in Isidaki,
00:24and that is because of the highest terrain here, the complex topography.
00:28You're going to have lots of water, flash bugs coming out of that higher terrain,
00:31and winds dusting 90 to 100 miles per hour are very possible,
00:36and after the Typhoon weakened in a train from dry air, it appears to be ramping back up once again.
00:4275 mile back in the same wind, but there's a lot more construction around it,
00:46including supercells forming in the front right quadrant,
00:49and right now I am on the eastern side of the island.
00:52That wind is coming off the shore, and the breakers are starting to make it past the reef.
00:56All the beaches are closed here.
00:58Everybody has buttoned things up, battened down the hatchets,
01:02and the park is going to ride out Typhoon's Avenue.
01:04We're likely going to make landfall about 8 to 12 hours from now, late night tonight.
01:08It's an early tomorrow morning, and we will be there at ground zero
01:11with a front right eye wall to make landfall with a coast.
01:15Storm surge, flash flooding, and big wind are going to be an issue out here.
01:19We'll keep the docking.
01:21We'll be there.
01:21We'll be there.
01:21We'll be there.
