#1 OOOOhh baby. This is going to hurt. I'd get as far away from that one as possible.

#7 Hit the link, then hit the joint typhoon warning center link, and then hit the "IR Satellite Imagery [.JPG~120K]" link. (That is, if this link doesn't work for some reason.)

Da-yum, she's a biggie! Looks almost exactly like the pic of Katrina posted here with the story.

Far, far away would be good.

#8 Forgot the name but there was a Pacific storm/cyclone in the mid-1990's that was officially labeled "the Storm/Typhoon of the Century" by the national weather boyz - iff memory is correct, in terms of size and TV imaging it appeared to take up 2/3's or more of the entire PACOA. Fortunately for Guam + WESTPAC, in terms of storm power it surged then died - its size was more scary than its magnitude of power/energy.
