Typhoon Aftermath

Don't know how my fellow Japaniers got on last night with the storm, but it got pretty messy in some areas of the country...

As for me, I was only inconvinienced as it kept waking me up with the sheer noise, but the worst of it occured at 12-5am so no real problem. In the morning everywhere was covered in leaves, plastic bags and broken umbrellas. Outside my window, I can now see the building next door as half a tree snapped onto a poor buggers scooter. In more bad luck for scooter drivers, a tumbling domino effect had occured in most of the parking bays. It was like any British storm, but the wind was definatley on another level, and it doesn't suprise me that 100s die in poorer asain nations. Last night was the first time I appreciated concrete.
