Typhoon Ma-On

You can watch a nice animation of this large typhoon (number 22) that is currently depositing vast amounts of rain on us (courtesy of the Japan Meteorological Association). Apparently it is the largest in a decade to hit Tokyo.

Its path up to Tokyo can be seen here together with it's projected path for the next few hours

I didn't see an animation, but the still I did see looks pretty serious! Do stay inside (even if you're at the office...)

There's a button at the top to click to start the animation...

Sploshity splosh!

I'd stay inside and raid your food hoard :)

In the end I popped out to the pub to watch England beat Wales...

I hope you packed your wellies, it looked ankle deep on the news.

I stayed very firmly indoors until it blew over!

Really quite impressive to watch rain that hard (from the right side of a window). Friday night's precursor was wet enough - I came home soaked up to the knees just from driving rain and the splashes up from the pavement...
