Typhoon Longwang forms in Pacific

Digital Typhoon ^ | 9/26/2005

[dirtboy]

Typhoon LONGWANG was born in Mariana Islands. It is forecast to move westward for the moment. This makes three typhoons active in the western north Pacific, which means that we are in the middle of the peak season of typhoons.

Speaking about the peak season of typhoons, in Japan, today is known to be a unique day in terms of typhoon (landfall). This is because three famous typhoons made landfall at Japan on September 26; namely Toyamaru Typhoon (195415 / MARIE), Kanogawa Typhoon (195822 / IDA), and Isewan Typhoon (195915 / VERA). The list of typhoon damage reveals that these three typhoons are in fact the top three in the ranking of dead or missing people since 1951 -- such huge damage.

This typhoon is still tiny just after the birth, and it is difficult to predict the track and intensification of the typhoon at this time of life cycle, but we need to pay attention to the forecast for preparation.

Don't worry...it'll get bigger...when it's a teenager...

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

we need to pay attention to the forecast for preparation.

Prophylactic measures should be taken to insure safety.

[nuffsenuff]

Wait... This isn't a joke?

[Cincinatus]

Ever see The Kentucky Fried Movie? "LONG WANG" was one of the "Dating Game" contestents in the segment entitled, "A Fistfull of Yen." He was followed by HUNGWELL and ENORMOUS GENITALS.

[silverleaf]

Longwang? Hmm.

Will it bend to the east or to the west? Equiring minds want to know...

[benjibrowder]

OMG!!! That's funny.

[cripplecreek]

Typhoon Longwang ping

[ladtx]

It's big now but it will get bigger just before it blows itself out.

[mikeus_maximus]

Reminds me of Kentucky Fried Movie.

[Fierce Allegiance]

Whassa happening hosstuff?

[Psycho_Bunny]

If this thing makes landfall in Puntang, the Weather Channel's going to have to go Pay Per View.

[cripplecreek]

Longwang expected to penetrate deeply into Asia?

[BTHOtu]

The Japanese are worried about premature evacuation.

[cripplecreek]

It's OK they have protection.

[EagleUSA]

It's big now but it will get bigger just before it blows itself out.

I visited Wang Long village on Lamma Island, Hong Kong.

Got pictures with the sign to prove it!

[mhking]

That's just wrong...

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[FearlessFreep]

I remember that typhoon in 69 "onehunglow".

[Reaganesque]

Audio reaction.

[FearlessFreep]

What about Hugh G. Rection?

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Evacuation is necessary. Be careful not to drop the soap.

"Typhoon LONGWANG is still a small typhoon, but the clouds got more rounded and spiralled. It is forecast to keep intensification for the moment, and the typhoon gets more powerful if it starts to be bigger."

[Husker24]

This is just begging for commentary.

[HostileTerritory]

When you click on the face at snopes, it works.

[TheBigB]

"I think this place is restricted Wang, so don't tell 'em you're Jewish. OK, fine."

[Husker24]

Sounds like one of North Koreas new missiles.

[linkinpunk]

Longwang?

Will it hit the coast *hard*?

[AD from SpringBay]

Is it headed straight for the Niponese?

[null and void]

That's just wrong...

Yeah. Somebody's gonna get screwed...

[cloud8]

Can't wait to see the weather babes trying to get by this one :)

[ExpatGator]

Yesterday on the weather channel the woman who was doing the Tropical Update (dramatic music) reported on this storm. After having to say "Longwang" she actually said something along the lines of "we don't name these storms, and I think whoever does tries to make it hard on us."

Now, I am a simple person, but I do not think that I would use the term "hard on" in the same report as the name "Longwang."

[ravingnutter]

Definitely not a joke...I was subjected to William Hung singing this morning on talk radio as they were discussing this...Ugh!

[Right Wing Professor]

Don't tell Andrew Sullivan. He'll be on a plane for Japan today.

[KC_Conspirator]

Thats "Won Hung Lo".

[dirtboy]

Can't wait to see the weather babes trying to get by this one :)

I'm sure Cantori will be sitting erect in his seat.

[Lazamataz]

Typhoon Wydejohnson.

Typhoon Bigkok.

Typhoon Hunglo.

[Texas dog]

I understand the storm shrinks when it's over cold water.

[SpringheelJack]

Will it hit the coast *hard*?

And deep.

[dirtboy]

Nita, I know you got hit hard, but this typhoon thread is right up your alley.

[Lazamataz]

Don't tell Andrew Sullivan. He'll be on a plane for Japan today.
