Japan was hit by a double typhoon today cyclone Krovanh and cyclone Democracy. Now as we endure the winds and rain of change we await the blue autumn skies of hope and refreshing air. A good strong typhoon leaves turmoil in its wake, but the refreshing skies can last more than long enough to rebuild and strengthen homes and infrastructure. Krovanh is approaching Tokyo from the south and was reported 300km from Tokyo at 6:00a.m. Monday 31st August. This time, unlike when typhoons come from the east-by-south-east, Tokyo does not have the protection of Mount Fuji.
The Japan Meteorological Agency has released warnings of mudslides and flooding in low areas. News is coming in that the ruling Liberal Democrats have already suffered in landslides around the country. There are already reports of rising waters and flash flooding in Kabutocho and by 11:00a.m. CSK flood tanks had risen by 10%, even though Krovanh is not expected to hit Tokyo until six o'clock this evening. However, the signs are that circumstances are going to be difficult to manage as Krovanh approaches, and the total extent of the "damage" is not going to be known until the typhoon subsides.
