PABUK has chosen to grow up, and seems to be attracted to Japan. I could be wrong but it seems to me every time I look at the Navy's site PABUK's track shifts a little closer to Japan. PABUK predicted to be a short lived typhoon is now expected to remain a typhoon longer and winds are predicted to increase to 80kts/92.062 mph. PABUK did not go directly over Iwo To , I believe Iwo To is still recovering from last year's typhoon season.
