Japan Slammed By Typhoon

20 dead and 55 missing, what a mess on top of a mess.

Maybe all Japan's cities will get a drainage system like Saitama?

It's not fake, just waiting to see which Hollywood film crew works it into a script first.

It hit Taiwan too..

Irene Wraps Up

The last band of Irene passes over central Maryland, heads North

Um, it wasn't too bad here.  Some areas have lost power, but we only had some brown-outs.  A few trees down, lots of leaves in street (I need to check the gutters).  All in all, not a major event here.
