Speaking of having the most typhoons in August in Japan, Typhoon Noru,

the fifth storm of the season has struck Japan and

it is the biggest typhoon Japan has seen since 1998.

It occurred on July 21st, 2017 around Minami-torishima island

which is located about 1,860 kilometers southeast of Tokyo and

it is slowly moving through the main island of Japan and

heading toward northern Japan.

 

The photographs above are the photographs of Typhoon Noru.

It is so big that it is visible from space.

 

The Asuwa river which flows through Fukui City has risen.

In Japan, next one or two days,

we expect heavy rain and strong wind so please take care.

It’s the best idea to stay indoors out of the danger’s way.
