We had serious winds here at the hut last night, and it was amazingly clear. I think I saw five or six meteors in the course of 1/2 an hour... and I was sober.

It looks like we'll get some chunks of this storm breaking off and heading our way, possibly in the next 12-24 hours. If we do get heavy rain with this wind, we can always pretend we're in the heart of Nesat.

That formation of which you speak seems to have organized more overnight, but it's still not listed anywhere. And there looks to be plenty of activity beyond that. We had an unusually hot, dry summer; perhaps this will turn out to be a somewhat late but active typhoon season.
