The eye of the storm

Well, Typhoon Nabi passed through Saijo yesterday with winds of 120km per hour, and spewed more rain than I'd seen in a long time. I had to work, and some crazy people decided to come to NOVA to learn English! Luckily I finished early, leaving Jason and Jen the dubious task of riding home in high winds and lashing rain. Crikey! Even I had problems walking home and I only live 2 minutes away.

Check out this report from the BBC (it includes video footage).

Sadly 16 people are missing and 4 have lost their lives. What with the devistation caused by Katrina last week, it certainly hammers home the power of nature.
