Typhoon Talas

A typhoon is due to hit us tomorrow and/or Saturday. It is really just a tropical storm still, and not expected to get much more powerful, but still, it is very large and is expected to make landfall in the Osaka/Kyoto area. I don't think we've had a direct hit here for quite a few years, so the next couple of days could be quite interesting.

It's already raining.

I sure hope it doesn't do damage like Hurricane Irene did her last week. Be safe!

Well, the wind is up, anyway, and we've had a bit of rain although not bad yet. I just cycled to the supermarket very fast and cycled back very slowly.

Am debating whether or not to put the storm shutters up. It's a huge hassle (they stick) and although we've done it before it's never turned out to be necessary. But a direct hit, even from a tropical storm rather than a full-blown typhoon...? Hmmm...
