I have no understanding how you might think I would piss you off. You have been here for a week and have NO IDEA about what a Typhoon or in this case a Tropical Storm that rates an 8 warning here, can do.
You consider it to be likened to a force 10 storm. Well my friend I can tell you from personal experiance ( 25 yrs in the Navy riding force 10 storms ). Its a slight breeze compared to what an T8 warning can do. God forbid you ever have to suffer a T+10.
