Coast roads in Nakijin Town, Okinawa, flood due to heavy rains from Typhoon Chan-hom. 10 July 2015

Wind and rain for almost 48 hours, but typhoon Chan-hom has now passed Okinawa. Miyako took the brunt of the hit, while on Okinawa Honto some roads were flooded and a few downed trees. Okinawa Times reports, “42 200 households blackout, serious or slight injury 27.” I’m guessing most of those are fingers slammed in doors.

At the new home/office the power stayed on, and the water stayed outside. Excellent.
