Full account of traveling to the small island of Miyakojima in Japan to intercept power typhoon Songda on 28th May 2011. The typhoon made a direct hit on the island unleashing giant waves, strong winds and torrential rain.

Indeed, What a show!! Thank you James, excellent.stuff. Loved to have been there on the cliff watching those waves. Good Grief.
well done…… extremely good coverage *****
sensational images, thanks for showing us the sheer power associated with these powerful storms ! Hats off to you
Fantastic vision James!! Nicely put together too.. anybody would think you were a pro 🙂 🙂 Ironic you ended up with a Nissan Cube, but looks like it served you well despite it's large wind profile. 🙂 What are you shooting on these days? Still HDV?
@WeatherEvents Thanks for the feedback and glad you enjoyed it. The Cube was actually an excellent vehicle since parked side up against the wind in an exposed location it would give me a lot of shelter from wind to shoot. I did almost lose the door of it though 😛 I shot on Sony EX1 which so far is incredibly rugged and captures great full HD footage!
@thebarcaroller Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the footage.
@WEATHERORNUT Thanks for the feedback!
@siobhan104 The cliffs were a fantastic place to watch the surf but the rogue waves did give us a bit of a fright!
@TyphoonHunter Thanks for the insight James! That's a very good point about the Cube! I found that a handy feature of the weather lab on the west coast during Udo. It is nice to have somewhere where you can stand without getting covered in wind-driven salt spray and dirt (mind you, I've got a few extra stone chips now, LOL!). The Sony EX1 looks like a very classy bit of kit. I think it will be a while before I manage to convince my bank manager to sign off on one though. LOL!
Crazy waves!
Just came across this "oldie but goodie."
