No problems in Fukutsu from Typhoon Man-Yi.


Least not so I can tell. Not even a power outage... just some rain, some wind...

Reads like Kagoshima/southern Kyushu got hit fairly hard though.

Powerful typhoon lashes Japan - World - smh.com.au:
"A powerful typhoon lashed Japan's southern main island of Kyushu on Saturday, forcing thousands to flee their homes and killing two people, including an 11-year-old boy, reports said.

Forecasters said Typhoon Man-yi, the worst storm to hit Japan since records began in 1951, would continue to wreak havoc as it moved north-east towards Tokyo and Osaka on the main island of Honshu.

...In Fukuoka, northern Kyushu, 1152 people fled 789 households.

...The storm cut off electricity to about 740,000 households in Kyushu, according to Kyushu Electric Power Co, while Okinawa, which the typhoon has lashed since Thursday, is still suffering blackouts in 10,200 households."
