Total disagreement on Typhoon "Praprioon"

And not the fact that The Phillipines has a name, and the Chinese have another, but the only thing Japan and US (JTWC) agree on in their forecasts is the name "Praprioon".  Japan all week has had this thing coming straight for Okinawa, and the US insists on the big turn out to sea.  Right now the typhoon is stalled, and will go one of these two directions, but sitting on pins and needles on this turn in Okinawa. - HLG
