another typhoon let-down

Ok, after all the hoopla and warnings yesterday, Tokyo was spared major typhoon excitement and just had a fair bit of rain and wind. So that's good I suppose. I still want to go outside and have to grab a tree to prevent being blown away. The people in southern Japan have all the fun ;) On the news last night it was showing people 'surfing' down the street on their feet. The wind was so strong, they were just standing there but were pushed down the sidewalk. How fun would that be?
Anyway, I have another opportunity because typhoon 24 is now on its way! More rain! Hiroshi says we've gotten 4X the normal amount of rain this year, and have set a 63 year record. Guess that will be broken this weekend...
