So we've gone from a major 6.0 earthquake in Chiba, to a full warning tropical storm that has hit Chiba tonight. It's been coming all day and the wind and rain has been phenomenal. I actually went out today. It was pretty stormy last night and this morning I decided not to leave the house, but I was supposed to meet my friend for lunch and it had cleared up a bit (read: non-torrential rains) so I decided to head out. We had a nice relax day of chilling and cooking lunch and sitting around and chatting and laughing. Quite lovely, but by the time I was leaving the storm was back in full force. I was sopping wet by the time I reached my flat. Good times, good times.
