Oh Lord, Deliver Us From the Elements

Typhoon Number 7 is poised to pass directly over the Tokyo Metropolitan Area this evening, most likely shutting down train lines along the way (particularly the Odakyu Line, the line I live on and coincidentally the line that always stops first in the event of a typhoon). Combine that with the series of abrupt earthquakes centered in Chiba that started happening on Saturday afternoon, and this is shaping up to be an exciting week.
