Possible Typhoon Noul to Impact the Philippines by the weekend, maybe Okinawa




Tropical Storm Noul continues on its very slow trek west over the Yap state today bringing breezy conditions and heavy rainfall to the small islands of about 10,000 people. 

Yap and more specifically Ulithi took the brunt of Typhoon Maysak just over a month ago leaving most of the islands devastated. Thus even though this is only at a tropical storm intensity it is still a very serious storm for the residents who are continuing with recovery efforts here.

IR / VIS

At this time the NWS has issued Typhoon Warnings for Yap island as they expect the storm to intensify in to a Typhoon before moving away by Wednesday in to Thursday. On Yap the NWS has stated the following..
REPARATIONS FOR DAMAGING WINDS SHOULD BE COMPLETE. TYPHOON FORCE  WINDS OF 74 MPH OR MORE ARE EXPECTED JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT AND  WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE MORNING WEDNESDAY. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE 
ADEQUATE FOOD AND WATER FOR SEVERAL DAYS...AND THAT YOUR VEHICLES HAVE PLENTY OF FUEL. LISTEN FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION FROM YOUR LOCAL WEATHER SERVICE OFFICE AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICE. DO NOT 
ATTEMPT INTER-ISLAND TRAVEL FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS.


Noting the last line where no inter island travel is recommended. This is

key as there are many tourist in YAP this week during Japans Golden
Week Holidays.







Winds up to 120kph with surf up to 15ft could be seen on the northern
Extent of Yap. Furthermore heavy rainfall around 15 inches or 380mm
is expected according to the Guam NWS.

72hr Rainfall
72hr Rainfall
The incredible amount of rainfall is a direct result of the storms slow movement, meaning a constant amount of rainfall over coming days.

Philippines

After it tracks west away from YAP Noul is anticipated to start a North West turn clipping the NE coast of Luzon or making a landfall somewhere along the coast over the weekend. In either situation residents here should prepare for the threat of high winds, heavy rainfall and dangerous surf by Saturday in to Sunday.
More information on the exacts impact will be posted later this week.

Southern Japan

Those in Okinawa and the southern Japanese islands actually should be watching this storm too. There is the threat that in the long range it could blow by bringing typhoon strength winds to the island. This is still long range and a little biy of waver to the east or west could mean the difference between typhoon strength damaging winds or a slight breeze. Especially the farther east the storm goes the lighter the winds will be.

This of course will also be updated through the rest of the week.



April 29, 2015, Sullivan County, Tennessee. BIG PROBLEMS AT BOONE DAM -- 7 REACTORS DOWNSTREAM -- "...Boone Dam is 160 feet high, and nearly 1,700 feet wide — most of which is the earthen berm.


"The seepage is being blamed on karst, a geological characteristic common throughout Northeast Tennessee. Karst occurs with dissolution of bedrock, such as limestone. The more rock lost, the more room for more water to flow through — speeding the further dissolution of rock.

"Seepage through an earthen section of a dam in not at all unusual, Johnson said, but when sediment appears in that seepage, it can indicate ongoing erosion.



"A sinkhole occurred in a non-public parking area on the downstream side of Boone Dam in October. It was filled. Shortly afterward, sediment-filled seepage was discovered on the riverbank downstream of the dam.

100 volcanic quakes at popular Japanese resort prompt tourist warning

There has been a rise in the number of volcanic earthquakes recorded in Hakone, Japan. The nearby Hakone volcano began belching steaming gas and meteorologists say there is a possible risk of an eruption.

There were two minor quakes registering 2.4 and 2.0 recorded at the Hakone volcano, which is located in the Kanagawa Province and is 80 kilometers southwest of the capital Tokyo. Meanwhile, there were a total of 98 volcanic earthquakes recorded at the popular hot springs resort of Hakone on Tuesday up until 15:00 local time. During the whole of Monday, 34 were logged.

Japan’s meteorological agency has issued a warning to limit access to the resort.

"Activity at Hakone... is in a state of uncertainty," the agency said in an advisory, which was reported by AFP. "There is a possibility that a minor eruption may suddenly occur," it said. "Please do not enter dangerous zones."

Despite the warning, the agency still believes the risk of the Hakone volcano erupting is minimal. It is maintaining an alert level at 1 on a scale of 5. Level 1 means “normal."

“Shallow hot-water activity in parts of the Owakudani Valley has become unstable,” the agency said in an advisory note, which was cited by the Kyodo news agency. “There is a possibility that a minor ejection [of hot steam] may suddenly occur,” it said. “Please do not enter danger zones.”

Local hiking trails are also off-limits as there has been a recent surge in volcanic activity. On May 1, just two volcanic earthquakes were recorded; however this figure has been increasing. There were 36 logged on Sunday and 34 on Monday. 

The figure spiked on Tuesday.

The warning comes during the middle of Japan’s “Golden Week” spring holidays and is likely to affect tourism in the area. Around 20 million people visit Hakone, which is home to some of the country’s most famous hot springs.

As rumbles, a timely reminder of Japan's disaster preparation drill



9:07 PM - 5 May 2015

In February 2013, 1,400 small earthquakes were recorded around the Hakone Volcano, but there was no eruption. The last one took place around 3,000 years ago.

In November, Japan’s largest active volcano, Mount Aso, started spewing ash and stones, which caused local airlines to cancel flights.


However, the eruption of Mount Ontake on September 27 eventually killed 57 people, which was Japan’s worst volcanic disaster in almost 90 years. The search for survivors was eventually called off on October 16.
I read somewhere that this was being blamed on storms in New Zealand. I can't think of anything big enough to create this

Scientists are hoping to examine a female juvenile humpback whale that washed ashore in Pacifica on Sharp Park Beach, making it the fifth dead whale to wash ashore a Northern California beach in three weeks.

The 32-foot-long whale was first spotted by the U.S. Coast Guard late Monday at the southern end of the beach, according to the Marine Mammal Center.

The most powerful volcano 

in Kamchatka releases steam 

and ash

Kamchatka Volcano
May 2015 – KAMCHATKA – The Kliuchevskoi, the most powerful existing chain giants in the Russian peninsula of Kamchatka volcano, today launched clouds of gas-steam and ash to a height of seven thousand five hundred meters above the level the sea. Emissions were captured by the observatory of geophysics and volcanology, a subsidiary of the Academy of Science of Russia in the Far East.

 The wind spread the ash cloud at a distance of 40 kilometers to the northeast, toward the Gulf of Ozernovskiy, and does not represent a danger for the populations, the regional Emergency Situations Ministry, in a report televised on federal channels said.  However, civil defense declared code yellow -alert averagely for aviation security and recommended to travelers refrain from organizing tourist expeditions in the area of the volcano, active since 1 January.  Kliuchevskoi ranks as the largest and most powerful active basaltic volcano in Eurasia, with four thousand 850 meters.

 Actually it gives its name to a group of giants (Kliuchevskaya) located near the east coast of the peninsula as Ploski Tolbachik, Shiveluch and Kizimen responsible for the intense seismic activity in the region since late 2012.  The Kamchatka Peninsula in the Russian Far East is part of the zone of high seismic activity on the planet, the Ring of Fire. – Prensa Latina
