Violent weather

What a strange day it has been in Kanto today.

As I mentioned this morning, I was in Tokyo all day (just go back about an hour ago), and the weather was violent throughout the entire day. On the way in on the train, a lightning strike disabled some switches, which caused the train I was on to make an unscheduled stop along the way. We were instructed to get off and take another train along a different line, which worked, but also ended up making me an hour late for my appointments.

After dinner with the Mr. Pink, it was time to head back out to the JAPUNDIT Media Complex, but during the trip back the lightning strikes along the line caused the train to stop three times along the way.

As soon as I got back, I started putting some posts together for the early morning hours, but was interrupted three times when lightning strikes caused the power to go out.

It is still pretty rough out there, but we hope to have things back to normal on Wednesday (Japan Time).
