i don't know if it was quite as good as that, coz it wasn't a big typhoon, but you could see the boundary of the typhoon around you, and there were patches of blue. anyway, it felt pretty special.

looks like it's pretty much finished here now - just some light rain in the back half - though 1000mm in the mountains - that should mean a good driftwood delivery.

I see JTWC finally corrected their mistake, but it took them a long, long time - a serious dropping of the ball there i would have thought.
