  It shaped up a lot more intense here than we expected. The river not far from our house got massively swollen...didn't burst its banks, thankfully, but the evacuation message went out for Uonuma City down the road. The river looks a right mess today. Brown and murky instead of the usual pristine clear snow-melt we're used to. I am glad though that everyone seemed to heed the warnings and take it seriously.

  @genkidesu - Yea, got one or two evacuation alerts for Edogawa-ku just down the road but I think it turns out things were OK there in the end. I think it was perhaps a little less intense down here than we were expecting, although intense enough thank you very much! Glad to hear all is well.

  @Tomuu less intense is always the right answer when it comes to typhoons. Have some friends still living in the Hachioji area of Tokyo from when we lived around there, and it looked nuts there too. Lots of sandbagging and streets that looked more like mini-rivers.

  All the surrounings areas rivers burst and we had a level five warning most of the night. More than 24 emergency alerts until the last one at 2:50am saying the waters were receding.

  We're alright up herein Miyagi. No major damage near my home though some friends had flooded streets or roads closed for mudslides or downed trees elsewhere in the prefecture.

  It was not bad at all in Gifu! As far as I know, everyone is safe. It was not even that windy here! Glad to say I am safe. Although, the eerie alarm on my phone startled me fore sure! I am happy to hear you are safe!

  I am in Western Tokyo but not close to the Tama river. Here everything is fine. We have water, power and there were no major damages. Just that some items are still sold out in most supermarkets.

  I´m living next to the sumida river. The river terrace was flooded with water, but no danger for the nearby buildings. Actually I was sleeping the whole time during the taifun and didn´t even hear something :D

  The typhoon passed surprisingly peacefully on my end! Sad to see the damage and the lives lost though :( :( :(

  Most of Yokohama and the coastal part of Kanagawa seemed to have been fine, including my place. I heard that the Tamagawa river flooded and damaged a few parts of Mizonokuchi though.

  The northern part of Chiba Prefecture was pretty tense as late as Sunday afternoon. The Edo River was very high, and the Tone River threatened to flood. We got the all clear on Sunday. We're lucky there was little damage in the region stretching from Kashiwa to Noda Cities.

  I live near Nagano City, which got hit really hard by the flooding. Fortunately my town is mostly fine, but a lot of downed trees. Traffic has also been worse in the area because there are roads and bridges that are closed because of damages. There's also some damage to a few of the train lines, and that's a real pain in the neck. But all minor in comparison to the flood damages in Nagano City. I have some friends there and they say everywhere smells like foul water. And some people aren't going to qualify for government assistance because their houses/floors were damaged but not destroyed. Seems really...nitpicky and unfair.
