European Space Agency astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti has just posted these five shots of typhoon Maysak, taken from aboard the International Space Station. Maysak is a very strong category 4 super typhoon, which has weakened only 1 category since Monday.

Maysak’s unusually powerful winds of 160 mph have already caused significant damage in Yap and Chuuk State in the Federated States of Micronesia of the northwest Pacific ocean, killing five people. Now, the typhoon is heading toward the northern Philippines.

This one is heading north of him - more towards Manila. Which is also bad because I have some other friends there.

Good for him, but bad for them :sadangel:

From what I can see, Tim has plenty of time to prepare as the various weather prognosticators say that the typhoon will arrive either Sunday or Monday.

Accordingly, Tim put down the Rhum and start getting the necessary supplies ready.:seasix:

I suggest Tim start drinking heavily.

Oh Wait.....


Never mind.
