Steve why would you have to clean up a messed up US BASE? Which base is it? Are you in the armed forces? If so which branch? Are you just a government worker there as a janitor? [curious]
I am the one in the Air Force.. I am stationed at Kadena AB , Okinawa Japan. I currently work in Civil Engeneering Squadron so we deal with all the base clean-up and repairing buildings and things that has gotten messed up.. And basically this.. Typhoon's and Hurricanes are the same.. just Typhoons are formed in the Western Hemisphere and they actually spin counter clockwise while Hurricanes formed in the Eastern Hemisphere spin clockwise.. and they can be the same strength but it all depends on what the weather is like when they happen.. like this one slowed down to about 2 miles an hour when it hit us. And it was pretty cool because the whole island of okinawa fit into the eye of it.
