It looks like we’ll get some wind and rain here in Kumamoto but, thankfully, we’re not slated to get a direct hit. Still, it’s a very strong storm system and rain can be unpredictable so you might want to think twice about staying in or traveling through places that a vulnerable to flooding and/or landslides when the storm is at its peak. Folks in the Amakusa area may want to exercise particular caution. The winds coming off of the water may be quite strong.

P.S. One more on the way after this one. The second one probably won’t be a direct hit either. More later.
