muikabochi 208 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Not so bad here just moderate-heavy rain, not windy really for now. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Eye of the storm is over us with the sun out a little. Some strong gusts but not as bad as other areas, but as the back end pass over us we could get some very very strong winds before it finally passes. The storm passed through Shizuoka, south of Mt. Fuji, straight over the town I live in. Don't think the eye of the storm passed anywhere near you. Link to post Share on other sites
Karnidge 2 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Perhaps there were 2 eyes? Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Well, we all have two eyes so I can't see why a typhoon jolly well can't have two either! Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 We didnt escape the wind, very strong winds here now gusting at times, but compared to Shizouka and Kanagawa we escaped the worsed of it. Looks like the eye of the storm passed further east of us in the end so we didnt get the full impact of the storm, which is good of course, but not so good for those who did. 19oC and actually feels warm compared to the past few days, but will most likely turn cold again from tonight as the winds go back to a more nw direction later.

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 some woman is lost at sea from Fujisawa (my old area),,,,apparently got blown into the water and swept away Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I thought it was a couple marines.. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 that's down in Okinawa tho, right? Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Yes was i Okinawa. Three marines went surfing or something one body has been found two are still missing. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Turned cold again now, and the wind is still strong, but not enough to do any damage. Looks like another cold night and heater required. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 The marines were actually taking pictures. A Darwin award for each of them. Link to post Share on other sites

onehunga 26 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 My friends street in Hiratsuka, Kanagawa Given the amount of mud on the main road, and the flooding at the local conbini and supermarket, that's probably what main road by us looked like. Link to post Share on other sites
Peetan 10 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Lovely view of the mountains this morning on the way to work. A distinct drop in temperature too, as lady Peetan duly noted (I.e. Complained about- she's more of a summer person). Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Oh was chilly this morning Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Was a nice day here, especially first thing, clear blue sky, quite cold but warmed up enough to only need a thin jacket or thick shirt on. Cold outside again now and rather cloudy. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Nice n sunny today and relatively warm in the sun. Definitely changed tho, cold in the shade and when the sun goes down. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Like these kind of temps Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 people have started to fire up their stoves etc…..I can smell them when I go out at night. I love a good fire, wish we had a wood burning stove in our place Link to post Share on other sites
Peetan 10 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I start to miss the UK when I smell log fires. Composting autumn leaves, bonfires, spent fireworks and cooked chestnuts. You get some of them in Japan too, but in the summer so the subtlety is different. It's more homely in the UK, but more festive here. That said, anything that says snow is on the way to Japan is very welcome Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Up here in Sapporo, its very much like back home…….same distinct change in the seasons, damp mouldering leaves, crisp night air and fires used to heat homes Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Seems to be very like that here too. This is my first whole year in this area, but feels more like back in the UK than Japan, weather wise in this area. Quite a few houses here have fire places. It actually got cold here very early, with temps really dropping off from early as late August, whether that was just this year or normal I dont know as it is my first year to live here, but surprised by how quickly it cooled down here when compared to many other parts of Japan.
