Powerful typhoon on course to hit western Japan late Thursday

Stay safe, warm and dry guys

My ferry got cancelled and now I'm stuck in Chiba. Guess I'll be taking the train back...

Plenty of good waves in Chiba today

Thats why I close up shop and run out to get goodies and come home early to the wife and be happy! ;)

It's hitting Okazaki (Aichi) right now. Not too bad.

Strong winds in Osaka, but zero rain. Was supposed to be some 800 mm by now. We need the rain, actually (not torrential, but still), just not the crazy winds. Stay safe!

Feeling great from the 16th floor balcony in Osaka with the winds blazing.

No rain in Hyogo. A bit breezy but not so bad.

Cancelled an important job because JR West cancelled all trains around 2pm. No heavy rain or wind. Blue skies. Kansai

Unfortunately, I wonder how this has affected JR West's ability to reopen the San'yo Main Line west of Himeji all the way to Shimonoseki?

It’s passing overhead now.

Massive gusting winds,rumbles and horizontal rain-typhoon no 20!

On a business trip in Miyazaki, it was cascading like Niagra falls the other day, absolutely crazy. It was wild, those winds were no joke, our hotel was sound couldn’t hear it so much, but when you looked out the window and to the ocean...insane!
