Typhoon 16 arriving soon

[Kim]

Well, by all accounts typhoon 16 is headed towards us. It's supposed to be the most dangerous typhoon for a long time. We've just finished clearing away all the loose stuff outside and we have good storm shutters. ETA for our area is about 3 a.m. (Japan localtime). At present we are just on the northern edge of it and the wind is beginning to pick up. I'll keep you posted.

I've just seen a weather report. This one is bringing down earthquake resistant concrete telephone poles!!!:11:

This one had me out of the water since Thursday already - the waves have been at 2.5 meters since then.

I hope you are okay down there Kim.

We dived Atami Saturday and Sunday. Conditions were ok. Not too big waves but vis wasn't very good, 5-6 meters. Most sites in nishiizu were closed. Probably no diving tomorrow in Atami.

I was reconsidering having a dive with you guys on Sunday, but was sure that it would be a "no go" with the weather. You guys dive in any conditions!

No. We only dive when conditions are acceptable and it is safe to dive. Tokyo Scuba was in Atami with 11 divers Sat/Sun, and some Japanese clubs.
