>>1 The wind on the left side of the direction of travel is offset by the speed of travel, so there is not much wind. I wish the weather forecaster had said something as basic as that.
Because of excessive hype on television, transportation services have been suspended, hotels, inns, and tourism have been affected, and the economic impact has been severe.
I live in Yamanashi Prefecture, which has been in the national news due to the fear of a linear rain band. The rain comes in sporadic bursts but then stops again quickly. The wind is nothing more than a gentle breeze. Currently, there is still no wind.
It’s been predicted for a long time that it wouldn’t make landfall, so why did they hype it up so much? Was the Shinkansen really something to be worried about?
Even though they know that the course changed in the afternoon and that there wasn’t much happening in Tokyo, these corrupt media outlets continue to exaggerate the situation and make it into a story.
