All, Please take time to secure your belongings and stock up on supplies and food. Typhoon Neoguri is headed this way. A message from the 18th Wing Commander-- Shoguns, I cant stress enough how dangerous this typhoon may be when it hits Okinawa. This is the most powerful typhoon forecast to hit the island in 15 years; we expect damaging winds to arrive by early Tuesday morning. So be prepared! Take the time today and tomorrow to secure your outdoor items, and get the supplies you need to weather this storm. Tie down your outdoor items and work with your neighbors to help them--especially those whose spouses are deployed/TDY/TAD. During the typhoon, do not go outside. Right now, we expect sustained winds of 155 miles per hour and gusts up to 190 mph. Anything not tied down, even smaller items, could become deadly projectiles. This is not just another typhoon. If we all follow the typhoon procedures and take care of each other, we will all make it through this typhoon safely. Scorch JAMES B. HECKER Brigadier General, USAF Commander, 18th Wing --MSgt Prince usno.navy.mil/NOOC/nmfc-ph/RSS/jtwc/ab/abpwsair.jpg
