00:04.670 --> 00:05.810
- [Jonathan] During typhoons,

00:05.810 --> 00:07.910
the weather can become dangerous.

00:07.910 --> 00:09.850
The Kadena Weather
Flight Commander explains

00:09.850 --> 00:11.550
some of the things you need to know

00:11.550 --> 00:13.160
about typhoon hazards.

00:13.160 --> 00:15.660
- Hazardous weather
conditions that you can expect

00:15.660 --> 00:19.320
with typhoon are strong,
damaging or destructive

00:19.320 --> 00:23.510
winds, storm surge and
significant amount of rain.

00:23.510 --> 00:24.603
It's important to
understand the difference

00:24.603 --> 00:28.030
between the two, because we
use the destructive winds

00:28.030 --> 00:30.460
as a baseline for our TCCOR.

00:30.460 --> 00:31.690
- [Jonathan] There are
some things you can do to

00:31.690 --> 00:35.550
prepare for typhoons and the
dangers associated with them.

00:35.550 --> 00:38.383
- Be knowledgeable,
understanding, educating yourself,

00:39.290 --> 00:42.050
with what typhoon can
do, the different types

00:42.050 --> 00:44.810
of weather hazards associated with typhoon

00:44.810 --> 00:46.860
and also the different TCCOR levels that

00:46.860 --> 00:49.690
we have here in Okinawa so
that you can prepare yourself.
