Typhoons are numbered in the occurrence order every year in Japan, so the current typhoon on the northern Pacific Ocean is called No. 19th Typhoon, but I'll call it Hagibis following the international manners in this entry. Hagibis was born near the equator last weekend. Its size and power rapidly got bigger and bigger in a few days, and it ended up reaching the strongest rank.
The weather forecast says Hagibis would land between Tokyo and Nagoya on the 12th. If the forecast proves right, it would veer off my house, but I'm afraid that Hagibis would devastate a considerable range of Japan. As personal countermeasures, I'll prepare drinking water and easy-to-ready food for two days, radio and batteries. On top of that, I have to move bicycles, flowerpots and other stuff on the garden into the house. I was to join the Ryoma-Dappan marathon on 13th in Kochi Prefecture, but it would be cancelled.
