This is in the same area which was seriously flooded last summer. Let us hope that people are ready and some newly-strengthened river banks will hold up to what is threatening.

I thought swathe was a verb. Swath is a noun. I guess you means large swath of Japan.

"If I can't get back as planned, the impact on my job could be bad," one man told national broadcaster NHK.

Hate to tell you but you're not THAT important, mate.

"If I can't get back as planned, the impact on my job could be bad," one man told national broadcaster NHK.

If your job is so tenuous that keeping it depends on the weather, you better find a new job while you are still ahead.

Who the hell cares? It's going to hit a large area, plain and simple. And as per norm, during the holidays. God forbid it be a work day. Stay safe, people. Play some hanafuda or something instead of those camping plans.

As of midday, in Kobe there isn’t any problem...just a fair breeze cooling everyone down.

Kochi is on stony ground, so all my potted plants will be confined to the garage. And anything in danger of becoming a flying object nailed down, so to speak. Pets, mine poop themselves at the first sign of thunder so locate to there favourite safe place. Any shopping no time like the present.

By the way Its busy out there.
