Typhoon Melor Arriving in Japan, Leaving Lasting Impression
Posted by feww on October 7, 2009
Typhoon Melor Drenches the Windswept Land of Rising Sun
Wind gusts of up to 60km/h have already been reported in Japan’s Kinki region, about 675km (420 miles) from the center of Typhoon Melor.
Lets hope the overdue large quake which FEWW forecast for the Tokyo Bay area won’t occur right now, making the typhoon’s impression any deeper.
