    I think you're looking at something else.

    All forecasts look the same, no direct hit, but close by northeast of HK on Friday evening.

    So if it hits us as the forecasts predict, is there a chance incoming flights are cancelled or diverted? I've got two sets of visitors coming in on Friday morning, one set from the Philippines and another from Malaysia. There is a Samsung Galaxy 7 warning on the airport website but no weather advisory information like with the amusement parks.

    Do we know where Windity gets its information from?

    Its tracking does not match with any of the tracks being shown by Typhoon2000....

    I think WindyTy is one of the cutest websites ever. I love wasting time on it, even more than wasting time on GX

    Actually, most of the Pacific information comes from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, which is a US Navy and Airforce service out of Pearl Harbor. They cover the entire Western Pac. The link is below. The local HK office basically uses their information and adds local details and warnings. The current prognostic reasoning indicates the Typhoon will be 180NM or nautical miles from Hong Kong on the 21st. As such, landfall is indicated very close to HK. Should be interesting.
