Typhoon......Anyone here affected?

[RiverSide]

I spoke to a friend based in Nagoya this morning, he mentioned they have had bad weather there........he actually called it a Typhoon. His area was not hit to badly.........

Has anyone here been affected badly by this?

Hope all is well

[Evo_Lee]

Lol...

Typhoon...in Japan...when did that happen?

Seriously...when I used to live down in the valley flooding was a regular occurrence, especially around September...a couple of times I recall having 30cm of water in the street outside my place, though fortunately my apartment and parking area were raised slightly above street level...

now I'm out of the valley, on the hillside over looking the city, and I don't have to worry about flooding. Though it does get mighty windy around here at times...

incidently...buyers of used cars from Japan should beware....I've seen a couple of cars for sale at what seemed like bargain prices, until I asked why and I got the reluctant reply they'd been in a flood.

ahh that would explain the grass and toadtstools growing under my seats

arent typhoons and earthquakes commonplace in japan? you hear on the news at least a few times a year about earth tremors in japan. It must be something that you get used to.

[Streeter]

yeah that typhoon was a real fizzer. I rode the kwaka zzr back from work when the typhoon was apparently at its peak in Osaka and would have to say it felt pretty calm LOL!

A lot depends on where in Japan you're living. Usually a typhoon up near Tokyo/Yamanashi means little more than heavy rain and a bit of wind, but in southern parts, kyushu etc it's got to be more severe - read in this morning paper 16 people died as a result of Typhoon 21...

If u type in Tropical Storm Risk at googles search, click on the second link. It tracks storms all over the world. Typhoon 23 has just spun up and is heading towards okinawa. Watch out. Cat 5 prediction.

I dunno about anyone else, but by the looks of things now I'll be needing a boat to get into town later, not a car

been pi55ing down for over a day now...

Yep, typoon #23 is over us now in Osaka... not looking good apparently 4 people missing and 20 injured.

[Rezz]

Just heard on the news one person died in a landslide in Kochi in Shikoku I think... I live near the mountains too, I hope my 32 doesn't end up under dirt!

[Evo_Lee]

Yep, typoon #23 is over us now in Osaka...

that's why it is dead quiet...weird how it's so calm in the eye...then buckets down when it passed over.

your pretty close to the bay area as well

Dave & Kanto guys take care, she's a fierce one.

looks like it in the news, 7 dead and 8 missing somethin like that, theyre saying it will pass us here in a couple of hours. all im hoping for is that my gt-r survives this one again. *sigh*

First sign of a typhoon and my skyline gets wrapped up tight - car covers, ground sheets - all tied down, tucked nicely into the garage out of the rain

Well, this morning the rain has stopped and like a giant hairdryer, the wind is doing it's best to blow dry the landscape. On windy days like this, I'm glad I've got a full head of hair - a toupee in the weather is not recommended

We got owned pretty bad over here in Kansai.

Batten down the hatches. It looks like No 24 is becoming a possibility.
