#Typhoon #BUALOI is about to strike Vietnam. This is same one that clobbered Philippines the other day (as #OpongPH). Forecasts for BUALOI were aggressive, but fortunately it'll only make landfall as Cat 1. I don't regret passing on this one. Chasing it would've been tough.

Final leg of my grand odyssey to hunt Typhoon RAGASA in China: quickie dusk flight from Houston to Gulfport. I was deep in thought about one thing: what I'm hunting next. French Quarter of New Orleans shimmered down below. Hurricane House seemed to welcome me as I pulled up. ♥️

IMELDA hasn't been named and I'm already over it.

Look at that—we suddenly went from dead to busy! And we might even have a #hurricane threatening the Carolinas in a couple of days. Just goes to show you that we’ve always got to keep our guards up—even when a season seems slow. Me: I’m aways ready. The destructive power of…

As a chaserdude, I find big rain producers the least interesting subjects to chase, research, or talk about. It's just not a metric that excites me. But that's just me.

NHC has started advisories on the thing which will soon be #IMELDA. Models are giving mixed signals in terms of intensity & path, with other pieces on the chessboard being trough over US & HUMBERTO in Atlantic. Main takeaway: possible #hurricane near Southeast US coast by Tue.

System near Hispaniola will move NW & become #IMELDA. Models have generally trended W & stronger. Some now show strong TS or hurricane hitting Carolinas early next week. Too early to say, but folks in Southeast should watch. I’m heading back to US—in case this gets interesting.

Hanging in Guangzhou for the night. Trying to decide where to go next. Was gonna stay in East Asia to hunt Typhoon BUALOI, but the computer models are gettin' spicey with #Invest94L. Do I need to come back...? Hmmm.

Mr. Chen & I are back in his hometown of Foshan. He wanted to take me to lunch at his favorite neighborhood place. We worked well together. We had to communicate entirely through translation technologies, but we made it work. And, yes, he said he'd do it again! 谢谢陈先生!

My hotel on Hailing Island was damaged by #Typhoon #RAGASA's explosive gusts. But what struck me was the almost complete mowing down of trees on certain parts of the property—like this one. By the time the eye arrived, barely a tree was left standing in this shady, green plaza.

In bed, recovering from a brutal chase. My 82nd core penetration did not come easy, but it did come. Got into #Typhoon #RAGASA's eye on Hailing Island #China around 6 pm. Storm was decaying but violent. Eyewall was gusty, explosive, micobursty. Lots of damage to hotel & trees.

3:05 pm. Big, scary gusts. Horrible groaning, rumbling sounds. Damage happening to the building. Debris raining down. Here we go... Chasing #Typhoon #RAGASA in #China

P.S. If you one of you tropical nerds out there can archive these China radar images (at weather.com.cn/radar) as the typhoon makes landfall, I'd appreciate it. 👊👊👊 I'm not gonna be able to once I get in the core, and I'm gonna wane to see what happened afterward. Thx.
