During yesterday and today I received emails from my company and the company I am a consultant advising of this strong typhoon that at this time has already arrived in Japan but came to Tokyo on Thursday morning. Both companies have warned us that many trains can stand in the morning, so if we see it very bad weather and we can not go to work not to do the impossible and that we stay at home.
Of course seeing the images of the route leading Typhoon and how big it is quite impressive as it takes up almost 100% in Japan, but I guess this will not end as much as they say in the news (I hope).
