Posted in: 3 dead, 80 injured in 7 prefectures as typhoon hits southwest Japan See in context

I don’t know where in Japan you’re living, but it is not going to rain on you “for the next few days”. It’s a moving storm. It will not even be a conversation by early next week.

Perhaps you haven't been paying attention to the news. This typhoon is historic in intensity and destructiveness. Have I lost you, Corey? This too difficult for you? No, Typhoon 10号 will be a conversation for some time to come for those who have to rebuild their lives after losing family members, friends, livelihoods, etc.
