RiverSide Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 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?

Demon Dave Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 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.

mcnamg Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 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. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/52355-typhoonanyone-here-affected/#findComment-1032306 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streeter Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 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!

Demon Dave Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 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...

Demon Dave Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/52355-typhoonanyone-here-affected/#findComment-1060381 Share on other sites More sharing options...
