This thread is about Typhoon #INFA, a storm the likes of which the world has never seen before. Enduring, unpredictable, astonishingly wet, massive, slow moving, and never alone.
And 13 days after designation as a storm, #INFA is far from finished in its journey of destruction
And 13 days after designation as a storm, #INFA is far from finished in its journey of destruction
My coverage of #INFA began on 14th July after it had formed into a visible and formidable storm, albeit not yet a Typhoon. But by then weather models already showed it was a significant threat.
Not simply as a storm but as a broader weather pattern.

The area in which the storm was expected to form showed up in the models earlier. Here we see it on the 10th of July in the GFS MLSP forecast. But it was probably there even earlier.
Der Taifun #Nepartak hat in Tokio zwischenzeitlich große Sorge verursacht. Für uns Anlass, dass wir uns im #Players-Podcast mal mit der Krisenprävention in Japan zu befassen. @SwissMari hat dieses Buch von einer Reise nach Japan mitgebracht. #Tokyo2020
@SwissMari Darin finden sich unter anderem Tipps, wie man selbst sauber bleibt, auch wenn man wenig Wasser zur Verfügung hat...
@SwissMari ... welche Dehnübungen im Fall einer Evakuierung empfehlenswert sind...

We begin in the West Pacific where Typhoon #INFA is now over China bringing rain to 100s of millions.

Here's a closeup of #INFA over the past 12 hours rain bands have now reached the already flooded Henan province.

A truly extraordinary storm. Maybe illustrative of what tropical storms of the future may look like.
#INFA developed slowly, moves slowly and is not particularly strong, but he/she is orchestrating rain catastrophes from 100s of KMs away in Shangai the Phillipines and Japan.

A big high resolution photo of INFA from this morning from @NASA WorldView. This is a truly huge storm.
