Apparently it's weakening a bit at the moment and maybe more before the weekend. Not 2018 Mangkhut crazy hopefully.
Looking at the size of this thing I wonder if that would make any difference. :(
Stay safe.
Worried about my brother in law who's currently visiting the country. Hopefully the storm will die soon before hitting the island
Have the FIA ever cancelled a race before? I wonder what the procedure would be.
I recall them canning Bahrain 2011 due to political unrest.
Suzuka could be raceable on Sunday. Saturday looks bad though.
Unless it weakens significantly before landfall, it will probably be comparable to a Category 2.
edit: oops looks like the forecast changed since I last looked! Good news!

Stay safe everyone.
Scotland has found a brand new gloriously fail at sports because of it as well as it will put them out of the Rugby world cup.

Same! This typhoon has me worried about my windows. Im on the top floor of my apartment and one whole wall is nothing but a massive window.
I'm going to visit Japan next weekend. I hope the damage isn't too great.
That's at least one good thing about this: Japan has this kind of shit happening all the time. They are as prepared as they can be.

I mean I'm most concerned about cultural sites. There's only so much they can do to protect them.
Yeah, there's a massive Doujinshi event on Sunday in Osaka that I think will be cancelled. All the shinkansen to Osaka has been called off, so I don't know what the hell's gonna happen. I just left Japan on Monday too, good time to leave!
Just got home to Tokyo from Osaka. The station was full of foreigners who were angry that their trains were cancelled. Not too sure what they were expecting to happen.
Wait they are closing down lines already? I thought that wasn't suppose to happen until later tonight.
Yikes. I hope this doesn't end too badly.I see. I certainly looks close though. Stay safe.
My office is closed for tomorrow so it means I have a three day weekend and I'll happily stay indoors the whole time.
Luckily we have storm shutters. I'll bring my potted plants indoors and then chill.
Went to the supermarket earlier and it looks like everyone's stocking up on essentials.

So I've never lived in a place that gets hit by them, but from a distance, oceanborne storm systems are fucking terrifying. I hope everything blows over as well as it can for Japan with this one. D:
Flood map area for Tokyo if flooding happens:
Just stock up on food and water. Train lines will probably be closed down tomorrow but not sure what time. Supposedly the eye of the storm will be over Tokyo at 10pm Saturday. I posted the flood map earlier, look at that since there could be 750mm of rain coming down and you do not want to be one the 1st floor of a possible flood zone. Also have a flashlight just on case.
These tend to be bi-annually for me.
Stay Inside.
Do that and you'll be safe in most situations.
My flight is scheduled to arrive in Narita at 7.30 tomorrow morning. We are flying from the north. I hope our flight doesn't get cancelled and that people stay safe out there.
Yeah, not looking forward to this this weekend. I'm going to stay indoors and play Monster Hunter. I should probably also stock up on food tonight.
Thanks for the advice. I saw on the metro website that 'about 0pm the expected time of resumption of services may be changed depending on the situation.' What does 0pm mean?
