You see those white circles going from right toward upper left? That's the probable path for #Typhoon 7. Those other circles going upwards from the bottom? Most likely typhoon 8 in another day or so.

That area where the two storms kind of intersect? Yeah, that's where we're going on #holiday tomorrow...

#Okinawa #yonaguni
