Typhoon mania

This year there has been a ton of typhoons. Someone told me that it is the most typhoons ever this year - although I haven't been able to verify the veracity of that claim. It sure seems like it anyway. It seems like every other day a typhoon is heading our way. Luckily most of them just hit Okinawa (well, not so lucky if you actually live in Okinawa). Tokyo has only caught the outer radius of them so far, which means we just get a lot of rain. Fine with me. It means it isn't hot.
One just went through Japan's northern island (Hokkaido) though which is very rare. They usually veer off towards Taiwan and China. There were billboards ripped off tops of buildings, flooding and all kinds of damage. Seems like this is natural disaster week or something. Quakes, typhoons... what's next?
