Dang Global Warming and Bush’s weather machine are at it again...
I pray you stay safe and out of the way. How is the typhoon season, btw? Are there more or fewer than usual this season? Does global warming affect your weather or is it only a Western Hemisphere problem?

# 4 at this time of year is average , but it is unusual to get hit with such a powerful foon this early in the typhoon season . Such a huge one would normally hit in September or early October .
Batton down the hatches. Wish you all luck.
We just got finished having our house re-painted ...yesterday !
Welcome, I like that feature from weather.com. You can go view a satellite photo of anywhere in the world and put it in motion.
May God keep all in its path safe.
Any idea how it’s looking around Kanda-cho (Fukuoka)? I got some peeps there.
Fukuoka about two hours north of me . The way it looks now , they are going to miss much of the rain but are going to get the wind .
I was going to ask you earlier in the week how rainy season was for you this year. I heard Kyushu and especially Kumamoto was getting hit pretty hard.
Thanks for the report, Sushiman. I wish the best for you and your paint.
"Umbrella" ain't the word... :-D
This is not good. I have a kid flying home from Taipei today. I think his first stop is Tokyo.
Do you think they will close the airports down?

TOKYO Powerful typhoon Man-yi made landfall on Japan's southern main island of Kyushu on Saturday afternoon while injuring at least 44 people, forcing thousands of people to evacuate and leading to power cuts and cancellation of airline and railroad services.
This season's fourth typhoon is expected to continue to lash the Japanese archipelago, traveling along the southern coast of Honshu, the biggest of Japan's four main islands, through the Kanto region over the long weekend, the Japan Meteorological Agency said while warning of heavy rains, floods and strong winds.
Take care.
If I could sing, I would:
To the tune of “Hang on Sloopy...”
“Haaaaaaang on Sushi. Sushi, hang on!”
(Seriously, be careful!)
