Typhoon Usagi: Maximum Sustained Winds (1-min. avg) have rapidly increased to 260 km/hr near the center with higher gusts. 1,000km diameter. Category 5.
That's overlapping tornado force winds...
Quite happy that it will be passing a couple of 100kms south from my place, and it will mostly stay over water.

WOW! Wouldn't want to be caught riding in those kind of conditions!
Live to love, love to live.

Riding or just going out is not even an option!
Fridge is full of beers, vodka is in the freezer... I'm ready!

Windsurfing and kite surfing are not my thing!  I did go out and paddled yesterday, it was big and messy. Not fun. I didn't even try to get wet today, it was blown out and just a big washing machine. Plus, the coast guard and police issued a warning, and if we get caught in the water, it's a $5,000 fine.... not interested into paying their next new year party! Winds came up to fast with this monster. Too bad... we saw it coming 3 days ahead with wave conditions! Powerful!
