Summer is a typhoon season and largest TYPHOON (Central pressure 950hpa, Maximum instantaneous wind speed 60km/h)in last 25 years is coming straight to Kyoto, today.
Schools(Nursery school, kindergarten, elementary to high school) ware shutdown from starting. and railways are operation irregular or suspended due to prevent trouble.

Fortunately, as the center of the typhoon is heading to Kyoto, the damage of the typhoon seems to be not so bad.
(Because the rain and wind are stronger on the right side of the typhoon’s direction of travel) Even so, I pray that the damage of typhoons will be reduced in any area, not limited to Kyoto.

Typhoon Jabi was gone from Kyoto. But some damage was occurred. :-<

But this is nice educational case for my children. Because they learned some phenomenon of weather by following video before and they experienced real typhoon weather occurred.

JEBI attacked my town!

JEBI is the huge typhoon(No.21). It was so terrible. I could survive.

I hope other Japanese localguides are all safe.

Thanks @Ivi_Ge for merging the post to the right place. @backy0175L is one of the most motivated localguides in Japan. It’s a great honor.

てなワケで、バッキーさんもご無事で何よりでしたね。あ、その前にお久しぶりです。目の前にトタン屋根が落ちてきたときは、死ぬかと思いましたが、前回、大阪北部の地震同様に、しぶとく生き延びました。

「憎まれっ子世にはびこる」の喩えでございます。あ、そうそう。ニックネームを「ふぁんトント」から変更してますので、今後ともよろしくです。これは、コネクトでの処世術ですので、宗旨替えではございませぬ。

では、では。

@user_not_found さん、ご無沙汰してます。

個人的なローカルガイドは細々と続けてますが、コミュニティとしてのローカルガイドの方はなかなか手が回らなくてかなり存在感が乏しくなっています。

でも、少し秋らしくなってきましたので、去年雨で中止になってしまった「伏見稲荷大社の夜の散策」をもう一度 meetupとして企画しようと思ってます。
