Flying in and around typhoons

Just want to start a discussion about the above subject.

When airborne what procedures do you generally adopt when a typhoon is forecast to cross your route.

Do you believe it is necessary to re route the flight to avoid it and if so how wide a berth do you give it ?

Are there any things that you pay particular attention to when transiting the area in which it is located e.g. rising temperature and it's consequent affects on cruise altitude capability and icing, turbulence etc. ?

As far as landing in typhoons what precautions do you take e.g. ref speed and it's additives ?

Finally does anyone have some good anecdotes regarding flying in and around typhoons ?

Thanks for any input.
