#14  Frank G's interesting comment

The PRC has a big artificially enhanced base near Fiery Cross Reef at about 9d30min N and 113d E.

The center of Goni will likely pass several hundred miles north (about 14N). However wave action will be significant.

Local reports are that the retaining walls of the PRC base were not made with adequate waterproofing sealant and are already decaying.

#10  All because of climate change, which is, of course, ALL Donald Trump's fault.

I never realized how much power that man has to be the cause of so many things.

I wonder if the 250 mph will spread around the various alarmist news agencies because OMG! that's like totally unprecedented.
