Typhoon number 9 (Etau) around 2:50pm in Kamakura, Japan

Typhoon number 9, which has killed 12 people already in western Japan, is heading toward the Tokyo area. This is the first video I'm taking about the typhoon. At the time of the video, about 2:50pm local time, the rain is very light, and it's 28 degrees Celsius. The wind is also very light. The cicadas are still noisy. More to come!

Thanks! I'm glad I could help. Luckily, the typhoon turned to the east suddenly, so we didn't get the full force of the storm. I got more excitement about this morning's earthquake, though. A few things almost fell over in my apartment.

I liked it, looking forward to see more of the storm. Hope everyone stays safe.

Thanks. Actually, I probably won't make any more videos of this storm. It's just a typical cloudy day now. The typhoon turned to the east quite suddenly, so we didn't get the full force of the storm. I happened to sleep through it, though there was an earthquake at around 5am!

Scintillating video! The intensity of it all, I was on the edge of my seat...You really should be presenting the weather forecast with those dulcet tones and incisive commentary.

I sense some sarcasm.

[dmcd077]

How very perceptive you are too!

[japanjaydee]

Well, some people might appreciate the commentary, like my family, who don't live in Japan. And yes, I know this isn't an exciting video. Wasn't meant to be.

Hey Japan Jay

as I am in Tokyo in Komagome right now, actually found your video very helpful because Kamakura is pretty close to where I am. i eagerly await your coming videos! Take that, sarcastic person!
