Jac thank you for all the information, what a nightmare.  It reminds me of the videos I saw taken after Chernobyl.
At this point in time according to the path trajectory you posted Songda will hit the entire island of Kadena.  Kadena Air Base is the hub of airpower in the Pacific, and home to the Air Force's largest combat wing -- the 18th Wing -- and a variety of associate units. Together they form "Team Kadena" -- a world-class combat team ready to fight and win from the Keystone of the Pacific.

Nearly 18,000 Americans and more than 4,000 Japanese employees and contractors make up Team Kadena. The base's estimated economic impact upon Okinawa's economy is more than $700 million annually.
I was unable to find any information regarding what the island and the base regarding preparation for the storm but I did get this.
