There was a super typhoon heading for Osaka. It was supposed to hit yesterday, but changed course and hit Tokyo. But it had really slowed down and was not dangerous any more. There was flooding in places though. When you read reports about it, was said to be worst typhoon in 60 years....., but not really. Trains are on time.

It was very bad, over 70 people killed and a lot of damage. However it is a high tech country, with good warning systems, they are used to them occurring from July through September and there was a large scale evacuation. The Typhoon was fast moving so didn't hover over the area for too long, unlike Gita over the Caribbean. We have friends who live there plus friends over there for the Rugby World Cup, and what they have shared with us is rather dramatic. It also seems as if some of the nuclear waste from Fukishima was washed out to sea as well, which is a worry for the fishing industry.
