Today’s report, too. 
There’s a new one called Dolphin.
And unlike the passing Noul it might visit the beautiful island - but it’s way too early to speculate… 
Noul seems to be moving northward now, turning toward Okinawa to play with the USAF.

Yeah, spent time on Sunday trying to swim in the waves and ended up getting pounded.
Noul is not bringing rain to the rock?
Just some rain along the east coast but there is another typhoon coming.

Too bad. A direct hit by Noul would’ve filled up the reservoirs islandwide. But usually the Plum Rains can do that too. Where are the Plum Rains?
They have been hitting the north like normal but the south half or 2/3’s is still waiting. We have had a few light showers but nothing significant.
Noul’s eye passed over Ishigaki Island about 3 hours ago (at around 23:00 Taiwan time)… winds were maybe around 140km/h before and after the eye’s calm. Before the eye passed there was heavy rain (reportedly around 80mm in 4 hours - a lot at once but no disaster).
EDIT: Noul’s eye passed Miyako Island not long after it passed Ishigaki Island (at around 00:15 Taiwan time).
Now onward to Okinawa Island, to wake up Urodacus.
so far almost nothing. Max winds sill only 40 km/h. Nice balmy, dry air. But pressure’s dropping quite fast now, and we should have a storm before sun-up.
Your post is from 2:30 - the eye seems to have passed near Kume Island around 3:30 (4:30 Japan Time) and at the time of writing should be well to the north of Okinawa Island - were there any audible or visible effects in the Onna region?
Dunno. I was asleep at that time… bit of a squib really. All over bar the clean up. a couple of hours of moderate to heavy rain, no damage to trees, power lines, etc… but we still got the morning off work.
Looks like right after Noul there will be typhoon Dolphin following nearly the same path.
“Linfa” (= “Liánhuā”) means “Lotus”.
There are 3 typhoons heading our way at the same time!

The tails are quite touching.
Looks like Ying and Yang.
Most of the models that I’ve seen predict Linfa to become a Typhoon on the way to Taiwan, and Chan Hom heading in direction of Okinawa -> Shanghai.
Already feeling the winds of shit here in Taipei. Get ready for a full on shiticane!
