    is believed by some climatologists to be the strongest storm to ever make landfall
    As usual – nothing to do with demonstrable facts, but rather what a bunch of neurotic bed-wetters believe.
    On the strength of that, I believe I will have another beer.

    Changes size on a day to day basis.

    The hilarious thing is if you ask journalists what they think of bloggers, they will tell you that bloggers don’t subscribe to a journalist’s code of ethics.

    That is because of the absence of first hand data measurements. The land based weather instruments were destoyed by the typhoon. And unlike atlantic hurricanes, there are no hurricane hunter planes that fly out into the storm out in the pacific to do precise measurements. The best bet they have are satellite images on which they do Dvorak analysis. At at peak of 8 on the scale, that gives 190mph. So we would have to wait for results from on-going evaluations.
