I have some bad news and some good news about the typhoon:

October 3, 2016 at 14:02 JST 2016

Bad news: The storm is now a super typhoon – category 5.

Good news: At this point, it looks as though it will not come close enough to Kumamoto for the wind damage to be severe.

Nonetheless, even if the winds are not extremely strong here in Kumamoto, flooding and landslides from heavy rains may be more likely. Moreover, if there is an unexpected change in the path of the storm, that could be bad news for us. Stay tuned.
