Yeah, weird. Pretty sure i haven't seen a track quite like this one before. I was talking to a Japanese woman recently and she said it's nearly always the case with a typhoon alert that it ends up fizzling out just before it reaches Japan - but this one might be different. It's not massive compared to Nepartak, but should get their attention, none-the-less.

Getting a nice little tendril of rain from Lionrock feeding directly into Taidong tonight - very welcome. And a great lightning show.
