Super Typhoon Nepartak takes aim at Taiwan

Residents of Taiwan are turning worried eyes eastwards, where Super Typhoon Nepartak is steaming towards them after putting on a phenomenal display of rapid intensification. Nepartak went from a tropical storm with 70 mph winds on Monday afternoon to a Category 4 super typhoon with 150 mph winds in just 24 hours, as estimated by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC). The typhoon took advantage of light wind shear of 5 - 10 knots and extremely warm ocean waters of 31°C (88°F) to fuel its rapid intensification. Unusually warm waters extended to great depth below the storm, creating some of the highest oceanic heat content readings we see for a tropical cyclone--near 150 kJ/cm**2 (Figure 2). Satellite loops from NOAA/SSED and NOAA/RAMMB show a mighty storm with a large area of heavy thunderstorms with cold cloud tops reaching high into the atmosphere, surrounding a 15-mile diameter eye. The storm has taken on an annular appearance, with very little in the way of spiral banding. These type of storms are more resistant to weakening than typical tropical cyclones. The Japanese Meteorological Agency estimated that Nepartak had a central pressure of 925 mb at 2:45 pm EDT Tuesday.

The multibuilding Rochester facility sits on a sprawling campus and was once home to former U.S. Rep. Dan Rostenkowski, television evangelist Jim Bakker and Bob Probert, the former Chicago Blackhawks enforcer

It is one of only five such prison hospitals that serve male inmates at all security levels. Besides Hastert, the most recognizable inmate currently housed there is Jared Loughner, the perpetrator of the 2011 Tucson, Ariz., shooting that killed six people and injured then-U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

Although it is a federal prison, the tranquil location has more of a hospital-like setting. Security is focused around the perimeter and inmates may move around — outside of designated count times — with relative freedom. Staff is not armed within the buildings.

The Williams sisters - remember when they laughed at them and their father.

Happy Fourth DUers - go Venus and Serena!!

Oh and by the way Sam Querrey (who beat Djokovic) is also in the quarters - he will play the Canadian Raonic
