This is great, what other typhoons have you been in?

Thanks for the comment! 2005 I was in Taiwan when it got struck by Supertyphoon Haitang, then I went chasing after Matsa and managed to intercept eye of typhoon Talim. Also ended up in Okinawa chasing Supertyphoon Nabi! Who knows what 2007 has in store!

This sounds like a costly hobby, I flew from Hawaii to Florida to intercept Hurricane Frances which was expensive. Is this part of your job or is it just for fun? Cheers

Hi. This started off as a hobby but now I have been in contact with the Shanghai Typhoon Institute in China (where I live.) I'll be helping them develop and educational English language website along with pictures and videos from typhoon events in Asia. However my primary aim is to raise awareness of tropical cyclones and their effects in less developed parts of the world (which western media often ignore!)

Hey man - I just felt I was right there - you one of those wayout guys who travels around the world filming this stuff?

Thanks for the message. I spend my time travelling round Asia trying to capture the most fierce moments from these monster storms. Hopefully many more opportunities to come!
