Stars and Stripes - August 3, 2011

8:20 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 4, Japan time: Now that Okinawa has entered Tropical Cyclone Condition of Readiness 1 at 5 a.m. local time, be vigilant and keep a sharp eye on the TV or computer or ear to the radio to monitor further TCCOR upgrades.

Soon as TCCOR 1-C is issued, time to finish up what you’re going, get off the streets and inside somewhere safe. The time for outdoor cleanup and visiting the commissary will have passed. Once TCCOR 1-E is declared, all outside activity is prohibited until the all-clear/season TCCOR 4 is declared.

Muifa is now forecast to barrel 72 miles southwest of Kadena Air Base at 9 a.m. Friday, packing sustained 110-mph winds and 127-mph gusts at its center.
