Okinawa gets record typhoon rain
Kyodo
The main island of Okinawa Prefecture got record rainfall Saturday morning when a powerful typhoon engulfed the area as it moved north over the East China Sea toward mainland China, the Meteorological Agency said.

In Motobu, Okinawa, 609 mm of rain fell in the 24 hours through 8:40 a.m. Saturday, the record since 1981, when data became available, according to the agency.

As Muifa, the season's ninth typhoon, moved slowly, the main island was subjected to more than 40 hours of violent winds, and 30 people in Okinawa Prefecture sustained minor or severe injuries.

At noon Saturday, Muifa was located some 210 km north-northwest of Kume Island, moving north at 20 kph, with an atmospheric pressure of 955 hectopascals at its center and a maximum wind velocity of 198 kph.

Lo mas curioso del dato es que esta pequeña localidad esta situada al NW de la isla.

MUIFA se degrada rapidamente sobre el Mar Amarillo. Sin embargo, las bandas exteriores azotan con ganas a Corea

Estructura bien formada.... 

Llega el final de Muifa... En estos momentos su centro estrellándose entre las costas de Corea del Norte y China.
