Super Typhoon Usagi

Usagi, which oddly enough means “bunny”, is splitting the gap between Taiwan and the Philippines with 165 mph winds. It is headed straight towards Hong Kong but should weaken to a mere 120 mph little fluffy thing by the time it comes ashore. Batten down them thar hatches!

I should also point out for those who have daughters similar in age to mine that “Usagi” is Sailor Moon’s first name so that you can truly appreciate the potential scope of this disaster.

    I wondered what the tie-in between COTS and a typhoon was. You certainly never have food blogged any Chinese cuisine.

    Not a big fan of it Jeff. But since we’re suffering through a Weather Pr0n drought here stateside I have to try and stoke it worldwide!

    Oddly enough, I recently watched the ‘World of Suzie Wong’
    with Nancy Kwan.A typhoon causes a hill to slide down in Hong Kong killing her son.I hope they fixed those hills.
