Winds are about 138 mph (I don't know how old data is.) and are expected to be 150 mph before passing west of or over Iwo_To.  The Navy has both Iwo_To and Chichi_Jima east of the monster.  Japan Meteorological Agency has Choi_Wan tracking west and CIMSS has Choi_Wan as a cat 5 after passing by the islands.

16W.KOPPU is expected to be a cat 1 near or at landfall South of Hong Kong & Macau.  I am having determining the landfall; the navy topography of the area is unclear to me.
