New (old) Okinawa typhoon/weather channel

Hey everyone, I’m relaunching a project I originally started over 10 years ago in Okinawa called Ryukyu Storm Watch (previously Tminus10Media).

I’ll be moving back to Okinawa this June, just as typhoon season starts, and I’m getting the channel active again with many upgrades.

What started as a simple webcam to pass the time during typhoons has grown into something bigger: a live window into life on the island during some of the strongest tropical systems on Earth.

Through a home weather station, multiple UHD PoE cameras, live data overlays, and more than 20 years of personal weather research, Ryukyu Storm Watch blends high-quality photography, video, and field journalism to provide real-time weather context and practical tips for navigating storm season across Okinawa and the southern Ryukyu Islands.

If that sounds interesting, feel free to check it out and follow along:

• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2WLQnjj0xDi_tOL1S4YVDg
• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ryukyustormwatch
• Twitch: currently in the works
• Website: check MatthewRay.Media for the addition of the Ryukyu Storm Watch page

If you’re into Okinawa weather, typhoons, or just want a better sense of what storm season looks like on the island, I’d love the support.

If anyone is interested in participating, I'd love to collaborate as well! DM me, and we can schedule a meet-and-greet when I arrive on the island.

Thanks!
