As if strike related delays weren't enough to think about...

I've booked NW70, TPE-KIX-DTW, for this thursday. Typhoon Mawar has scheduled it's visit for Japan to occur right over Osaka at about the same time.

Does anyone have any experience with how NW would handle this? I called NW and they said if a typhoon would affect any portion of the flight, they would probably cancel the entire flight. It would make more sense to me to cancel the stop at KIX and fly TPE-DTW direct. I'd think they'd need the aircraft in TPE for the next flight.

Of course, I don't know how they accomodate those KIX-DTW passengers and I'm probably not thinking of a lot of other details as well.

Has anyone had this happen on this flight or a similar situation that can comment?
