At this time, the extremely powerful Typhoon No. 10 is located in the sea north of Amami City, Kagoshima Prefecture, and maximum instantaneous wind speeds are expected to reach 65 to 70 meters in the Amami, Tanegashima, and Yakushima regions, bringing such severe winds that some houses may collapse. A linear precipitation band is expected to occur in Kagoshima Prefecture, including the Amami region, and Miyazaki Prefecture through the evening of the 28th, which could rapidly increase the risk of disasters. In addition, localized heavy rain is also occurring in western and eastern Japan, far from the typhoon itself. The Japan Meteorological Agency is urging people to be on high alert for strong winds, high waves, high tides, as well as landslides and river flooding caused by heavy rain.

A maximum instantaneous wind speed of 700 m/s is dangerous. Garbage cans, flower pots, signs, bicycles, old ladies, cats, and street trees will all be blown away with ease.
This is going to cause a lot of damage. Especially in Ishikawa Prefecture after the earthquake. Kumamoto is probably in trouble too. If you think it’s dangerous, run to a shelter as soon as possible.
A weak typhoon, a bald typhoon, a weak typhoon. After being provoked so much, San San got extremely angry and the pressure finally reached the strongest level of 935hpa…
The latest US military forecast has it moving south, but in real time, there’s a chance that the westerly winds will meander. Whether it will be pulled north will be decided after tomorrow.
The stronger typhoons are only slowly approaching, and while they’re there they are exposed to fierce winds and rain. The prefecture responsible for the damage this time is Kagoshima.
Strong winds are scary, but if it’s moving this slowly, the risk of rivers flooding is even more frightening. I reckon sandbags would probably sell at home improvement stores.
