    Predictions say that it will be quite far away at that time; I'm guessing you will be fine for takeoff.

    Maybe. There were Force 7 winds at the airport when #SARIKA was over 500km away. #HAIMA is a much bigger storm and will be closer to 400km away when your flight leaves.

    It could be a close call...definitely check. I understand some airlines are already offering free changes...check with your airline.

    *Edit*...it should be within the 400km boundary by that time as a Severe Typhoon with wind speeds of over 155kmh...

    Check with your airline.

    I agree with Fiona's prediction too. Saw quite a few kids going to school today, can't have been easy getting them all safely back home. The govt will err on the side of caution on Friday.
