Strong Typhoon Roke Moves Towards Japan , 20 SEP 2011 Noon Update

[rross27]

Hunker down you guys!! My friend has a son teaching English there that never left after the previous set of disasters. I'm still very worried about him and moreso now. But it is always better to know the truth and deal with it in advance, so thank you for bringing us the news on this Rob. 8)

@rross27 ; Its not as bad as everyone makes it out to be, yes its a typhoon, but the U.S got hit by a hurricane just a few weeks ago. Also with every dark comes a light, yesterday's weather was horrible today, pleasant sunny one of the nicest days ever.

[rross27]

@robcenter1 Hehe... yea I will keep watching! TY 4 the update...

[RoseTheOne64]

I'll pray for them. Can't feel good to live in Japan right now.

Goddammit, first the earthquake and tsunami and now this. WEATHER, STOP TROLLING JAPAN.

[K4inan]

@SnowLadyForever Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes, that earthquake didn't have a major impact on Japan.

[SnowLadyForever]

@K4inan I know that tsunamis are caused by eathquakes, I am not stupid. Also I didn't say that the eathquake had major impacts, but it did leave it's marks on its own (Google "Japan earthquake 2011 road" and you will see what I mean), after all, it is the among the strongest earthquakes in the recent years.

Date: Jan 1, 2011. Place: A Hollywood movie company:

Movie Director: Ok, I have a great idea for disaster movie. One of the biggest earthquakes ever hits Japan, completely disabling a Nuclear power plant, THEN...a typhoon hits!

Movie Executives: Look, I know we turn a lot of zany ideas into movies here in Hollywood, but who is ever going to believe that first a super-earthquake and then a Typhoon would hit a nuclear power plant? That's just silly.

About 1-2pm this afternoon the typhoon hit Shizuoka Japan... I was in the company, I'm so afraid because the electric cut off suddenly and my job is too dangerous...

[Bobzeedo]

Japan has had 69 earthquakes of magnitude 4 or greater in 30 days. Something is happening. Google and read "japan hit with 69 earthquakes of magnitude four or greater in 30 day period"

[MahmoudDiari]

I am sad...

[Jaso4444]

im in the middle of it -_-

[robcenter1]

@Jaso4444 ; good luck, I'm about 100km to the east of it and am currently seeing 70kt gust outside.

[Anarchyson1]

@Jaso4444 I strongly suggest you avoid the raid at all costs, its like after hiroshima and nagasaki the rain was black and people we're so relieved they drank it, and died, the same thing is happening here with fukashima.. sandbag your house and stay put yo.

[OmgWtfAdm]

Nice forecast! U should be on the weather channel or a big station!!

[MrWeatherman10]

@OmgWtfAdm who me?, or the person talking?

[MrWeatherman10]

24 m/s wind report near the Izu Island now

[MrWeatherman10]

Tornado level is now 2 in some parts of Japan

[robcenter1]

@MrWeatherman10 ; yes very dangerous situation right now with those outer rain bands.

[raceclean]

would you recommend flying into KIX on the 20th from the USA? can they fly around?

[robcenter1]

@raceclean ; I would not recommend it, if you can wait until the 22nd the weather would be much better.

[pauleanonymous]

Rob, just moved to Japan and have found your reports endlessly helpful. Thanks for keeping everyone safe and well-informed! Now only if my employer would cancel work :).

Roke undergo Rapid intensification form Category 1 to 3 in just a Few Hours

[BalisticENT09]

@chunfu2 There was a huge huge spike in the HAARP Magnetometer...sad thing is with these kinds of things it's so hard to tell if mother nature or man made.

[project0omega]

@BalisticENT09 o.o?

there is tech out there that can make man made storms?

[innerpeace1979]

Hi Rob! Thanks again for the very useful reports, especially this year, when the storm activity has been so intense.

The winds have just begun picking up speed, though gradually, and yesterday we had massive downpours in the Tokushima city surroundings.

One only feedback about the videos in general is that you have a lot of cuts in the middle of sentences, and even though we can catch up I believe it breaks the flow of info you're trying to convey. I hope people will be safe this time now. TY!!

[robcenter1]

@innerpeace1979 ; Thanks for the input, at the start of this video I the audio was in and out, but after about 30 seconds it evens out, for some reason the program does that from time to time to me.

[innerpeace1979]

@robcenter1 HI Rob, I have confirmed reports of floods in the area of Tamiya, about 2,5 kms away from central Tokushima city. What is known as road 30 (between Kamojima(West) and Tokushima(East) on the southern side of the Yoshinogawa (kawa/gawa means river) has been described as a new river. I am praying for everybody in the areas at risk in Japan and eager to hear from your update. Thanks again for your service.All the best.

[robcenter1]

@innerpeace1979 ; Thank you for the report, new update is being uploaded right now, should be up in about 30 min, stay safe
