The typhoon that’s hitting Japan is pretty big, and thanks to the Japan Weathernews Network’s Typoon Report, visitors can keep track of its progress.
The WNN also posts regularly updated feed from Japan’s Himawari weather satellite, so if you want to get a good idea of just how big this typhoon is, check it out.
“Pretty big”??? It looks like it’s bigger than the country itself! Every inch of Japan is going to feel this one.
Bruce: Not to rag on you, but every inch of Japan did not feel this one. A little rainy in Kyushu, but nothing unusual, and I don’t think much happened up north.
It hit the Kanto area and then headed out to sea. Of course, the Japanese news media and the people who live in the Kanto area think they are “all of Japan”, and behave that way.
When a typhoon hits Kyushu, it’s reported as if it were a typhoon in the Philippines. Oh, yeah, a typhoon, next story…
When a typhoon hits Tokyo, the media gets in a tizzy three days in advance and it’s the lead story on the national news.
