Typhoon Fitow Approaches Tokyo; Flights Are Canceled (Update5)
Well, tonight is my last night in Japan and, as I write this, Typhoon Fitow is bearing down upon us with winds of up to 123 mph. I am sitting in an apartment on the 18th floor and there are windows all around me. The view of the city is spectacular from this vantage point, and I can hear the wind whipping past. Since this building was constructed in 2004, I have been assured that it is Earthquake proof and engineered so that it will sway if threatened by high winds, but I have a feeling that it's going to be an interesting night!
Here is a photo that I just took from the balcony (quickly, I might add, so that I wouldn't blow away!):
Here's hoping my flight tomorrow doesn't get cancelled! See you all soon!
