Japans Largest and Scariest Typhoon in Decades (July 10th, 2014)~ Japan on highest alert for ‘once in decades’ typhoon — New forecasts show direct hit at Fukushima plant — Official: “Extraordinary situation… Grave danger approaching” — Record-level winds to 170mph, waves near 50ft — Military: “Can’t stress enough how dangerous… not just another typhoon” — Astronaut: It “takes up our entire view… Wow” These notices were a few days ago, and as we all know things change, so lets take a look at what is happening now. Does the Japanese people have sufficient knowledge to secure Fukushim and all other nuclear power plants? What about all the nuclear debris from the leaking power plants at Fukushima power plants dating back to 2011? Is Fukushima still leaking nuclear waste into our Pacific? These and all questions will be answered in the next upcoming weeks ahead... but for now, the damage and the devastation of the Japanese people.... please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. What hit Japan was called Neoguri super-typhoon or a El Niño harbinger. In other words it means of major tectonic activity, including earthquakes, volcanism, El Niño, and global warming ... (reduced to zero very quickly) -- which could be a harbinger of a catastrophic pole shift. The good news is that —the weakening typhoon Neoguri is unlikely to cause another Fukushima. Typhoon Neoguri weakened from super-typhoon status between Monday night and Tuesday morning in Asia, but still brought winds up to of 110 knots (204 kmh or 126 mph). The storm is expected to weaken as it passes over an island with two active nuclear facilities. The Okinawa island chain, where more than 100,000 people were urged to evacuate to higher ground and was told in an “emergency warning”. As the storm got worsened, an oil refinery closed, and was spared the brunt of the storm, which is currently passing between the two southern island chains, according the US Navy’s Joint Typhoon Warning center in Pearl Harbor: The storm was extremely powerful. Okinawa is still being bombarded by high damaging winds and whipping rains. Traveling further south, the storm’s center missed the southern Miyako islands, where thousands of people had been urged to relocate out of the way of high waves. some saying as high as 45 ft high. The center of the storm is still expected to pass right over the island of Kyushu, though, where there are two active nuclear plants, which have been shut in advance of the storm. Because the plants have been shut down, the typhoon is unlikely to cause any radioactive release, Gregory Jaczko, former chairman of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, told Bloomberg. More news as this story unfolds tomorrow.
