TJ OZ 0 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 The typhoon has just started in Hakuba. Looks like a direct line for us so plenty of rain no doubt over the next 24hrs. I was in Tokyo for one a few years ago and it got pretty nasty so it will be interesting to see what the mountains do to the wind. Anyone in Toyama for the main brunt of it?

muikabochi 208 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 It is raining and pretty gloomy here, looks like it might be on it's way over here. Thursday night is the huge fireworks in Ojiya, hope it doesn't affect that. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Alwyas remember my first time in Kanto - EVERYTHING was closed or suspended. Had to camp out at the school I worked at. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 woulda been nice if it had a smack at Kansai for a holiday - at least just give us a Keihou at 7am Link to post Share on other sites
gerard 6 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I'd think the first ranges around Toyama would take the brunt. Dunno. Either way, it seems like it's gonna hit pretty strong in an area that doesn't usually get hit. Stay safe and enjoy it for what it's worth. Hope it brings a trough of cool air down behind it.

Thundercat 60 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 yeah! same here TB... luckily I got sent home early! Home by 1pm!! Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 yeah Izu seems to be taking a fair battering, a mate of mines (works in Mishima) has been stopped at Atami as the river has risen too high, the local roads are flooded too so JR can't bus them out, he's been told to bed down for the night in the station!!

Thundercat 60 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 lol... I work in Mishima too. The shinkansen between Atami and Odawara is in limited operation right now so he should be able to get home using that... maybe! Sleeping in the station is NOT my idea of a good night!
