Typhoon inbound
 

Typhoon No. 9 is coming up on the south side of Japan -- it looks like it will pass by Tokyo during the day on Tuesday, perhaps coming very close to the city. A lot of heavy rain is already coming down on various parts of the country at unpredictable intervals.

Here's the "official" storm track from the Japan Meteorological Agency.

Carry a raincoat and be ready for strong winds!

In eastern Tokyo and Narita area, it is heavily raining(8 to 64 mm/ hour).

This is causing delay and some cancellation to Sobu line and N'EX.

I survived Typhoons 17 and 19 in 1991.....I am sure you will survive this!:)

Typhoons, earthquakes, whatever. It's the season.

Stay tuned - Next week is locusts & plague.

What are you talking about, they are already here...

i got caught in it... almost missing my flight by some 5 mins... and learnt that someone sitting opposite to me on the train should've missed his flight.
