Typhoons and Earthquakes

A typhoon has been working its way through Japan the past week. There was substantial damage and some deaths further south, but as is usual, by the time it reached Hokkeido it had weakened considerably. In the end it didn't reach as far east as Kushiro, but we still got heavy rain Yesterday. Now the typhoon has passed, the whole country is now basking in sunshine. Won't last for long though. The autumn equinox (Sept 23), marks the start of the slide to winter. Off tomorrow, so planning a daytrip to an observatory in the marshlands.

Apparently there was also an earthquake measuring 3.5 in Kushiro yesterday afternoon, though I didn't feel a thing.
