Your chance of outrunning a 30kph typhoon is slim. You might be better off cycling toward it. If you can keep up 15kph, the effective speed of 45kph will put you on the other side of the 800km diameter storm in about 18 hours - unless you reach the beach first. You might be able to take a breather when you pass under the eye.
