Typhoon Faxai is a category 3 and looks like it’s about to go right up Tokyo Bay.

3. Do they

have enough sharpies to deal with it? Maybe we could send a few cases, just in case?

7. Thanks for the heads up.

My son and his family live in Tokyo. He tends to be pretty low drama, but you’d think he would have at least mentioned it when we chatted last night. 😟 Good thing I’ll never run out of things to worry about.

9. He'll be fine

I lived in Tokyo for 3 years way back in the early 1980s. I was there when one made landfall near Osaka, but I couldn't get any sleep because the winds were literally howling.

The country is in a hurricane-prone area and they know it. They're prepared. Japan conducts emergency drills of all kinds all the time.

12. Thanks for the reassurance

They finally texted me back (seems they weren’t up all night just waiting to reply to texts from mom). They said it was super windy and pouring rain, but that they were fine. It sounded like they anticipated just about three more hours of it before it was to move off.

There was a little earthquake when I visited last October, but next month when I go for another visit, I don’t really feel I need to experience a typhoon for myself. 😳

10. If you look at the radar right now

You can see the eye of the typhoon centered in Tokyo Bay.
