    Default Super Typhoon

    Our Okinawan operations are bracing for a Super Typhoon. Everyone in Typhoon Neoguri's path be careful.

    Various news feeds are covering it. Here is a report from Reuters.

    Typhoon Neoguri weakened from its original status as a super typhoon but remained intense, with gusts of more than 250 km per hour (155 mph). It was powering through the Okinawa island chain where emergency rain and high-seas warnings were in effect.

    The storm was at its most powerful when passing Okinawa, some 1,600 km (1,000 miles) southwest of Tokyo on Tuesday, but the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) warned of heavy rains and potential flooding in Kyushu, the westernmost of Japan's main islands, as well as heavy rain in the rest of the nation as the storm turns east later in the week.

    For now, I'm just waiting for the smack of the Bo against a hard wooden floor....

    Here in Japan it is known as Typhoon #8.
    Expect about a rainy-season month's worth of rain overnight...

    Heavy rainfall like that can move mountains.

    Sadly, true...as I experienced on March 22, although our rain was over a period of a week, not a day. My prayers are with all who are affected by this typhoon.
