Finally a typhoon?

Since I live in Japan I never encountered a typhoon, they all seemed to change direction before reaching Osaka. Today, a typhoon seems to be heading straight over Japan, including Osaka. Finally! I have felt earthquakes, but no typhoons yet. Hopefully I can remove “typhoon” from my “want to witness” list this weekend. Exciting! 8] Track its movements here.

Update: Of course, the damn typhoon turned “right” just before it reached Osaka! >:[

Huh? You want the Typhoon to hit your area? I’d kind of like to get some Typhoonless years under my belt before one hit’s me. I hope it goes away at the last minute.

Ye, wanna see one. Otherwise I don’t know what a typhoon actually is. ;-P

Leuk man ik wil het ook wel mee maken, ik heb net gekeken op http://www.jma.go.jp/en/typh/ daar ziet het er goed uit, windkracht 9 a 10.

To me, the earthquake in Niigata with the nuclear powerplant leaking radioactive material seems even more scary… I guess a simple typhoon is more fun… Pity that it didn’t pass by Osaka!

That powerplant thingy was not so scary, I think the media made it more scary than it actually is.
