  • In a few hours, the winds of typhoon Hagibis are going to hit Tokyo in full force. Right now, as we upload this, the winds are already loud. We’re not sure how serious it’s going to be, but everyone we know is freaked out. Grocery stores have been cleaned out. Every shop is closed. Public transportation and airplanes are all stopped. We’re going to show you a bit of what the atmosphere here in Tokyo is like, we’ll show you a bit about how we’re prepping for the storm, and give you a couple of useful apps.
    We’ll keep you up to date with what’s happening in Tokyo over on our Twitter and Instagram. Check those out:

    UPDATE: ok, I think the worst of it is over. The wind has totally died down here. We get random bursts of wind but rarely now. It’s still raining but not heavily. And our friends in the city are saying the same. Though a few of our friends got flooded, no one is hurt. We’ll see what it’s like tomorrow!

      Having experienced multiple typhoons myself, I can assure you Simon is in the perfect attire for the weather. Nobody wants their feet soaking in wet socks or their wet pants plastered against their legs. Shorts and crocs/flip flops are definitely the way to go, and you'll see the majority of people dressed like this. It makes for so much easier clean up when you get home.

      @@itachiml6506 If you have a cut on your leg, I would suggest bringing bottled water to rinse it as it gets dirty. Continuous irrigation (and perhaps a chance for it to dry off when you are not out in the open) is better than having the equivalent of a wet dirty bandaid touching the wound all the time. But probably the best thing to do is to avoid going out in weather like this.

    Let me just say that the japanese aren't over reacting as they empty all the shelves in stores, close up shops, fill up their bathtubs, etc. When hurricane Irma and Maria strick Puerto Rico we did the same things to prepare and trust me when I say it was all worth it. At least for the first few days to 2 weeks we had enough water to drink, flush our toilets, shower, etc because of preparation.
    Also, a good tip if the power goes out, fill up ziplock bags, bottles and containers with water and throw them in the freezer. If the power goes out you can put some in the fridge and leave the rest in the freezer and you'll have nicely stored food for atleast a week. If you fill a trash bag with water and put it infront of doors the pressure in the bags will prevent the water from outside to get in the house.
    Please be safe!

    We are up in a Sendai; so we experienced everything two hours or so after you guys. Our house is near a river and in a dangerous flood zone. Around 5 we got a evacuation 4 notice and decided to head to my husband's Grandma's house who just so happens to live on the other side of town on top of a big hill. She's the only family we have here and it just so happens we moved to Sendai from Utsunomiya; Tochigi this last spring. So just to be safe because we have two dogs and a 1 1/2 year old we left. None of our other neighbors did but we found out later the street was flooded and the stop and go lights in our area were so far under water you couldn't drive out if you wanted to. Luckily our house and neighborhood in general didn't have any damage; just some driveway ramps in the street.

The rain caused a mud slide. It was so sad. Another snapped a full grown tree in half that was right next to our house. We never found the top half, the bottom half was still standing.

    Glad to hear you and a lot of your people around are getting through ok! Hurricanes/typhoons are no joke and the preparation is real.

    I am so glad you made this video. This is something I wouldn't even know how to prepare for so I'm glad I can learn stuff from you guys. PS: I love that you include Meemers in nearly all your videos

    Love the documentary-esque style of this TL:DR. The shot from the window with the weather warnings playing on loud speaker was like something out of a movie. Keep safe!

    I am glad you guys are safe! Thank you for braving the storm to show us what it's like. I also wanted to comment and let you know that, although I don't usually comment on videos, I've been subscribed to your channel for over 2 years now and you have really inspired me. You were my first introduction to the idea of teaching in Korea, so I wanted to share that I just learned today that I've been accepted to EPIK and will be going to teach English in Korea this spring! Thank you for showing me how wide and wonderful this world is, and for also showing me it's something I can experience if I put my mind to it. You guys are such an inspiration to me.

    I feel like this is like Michael hitting us in the Florida panhandle last year. It absolutely devastated an entire part of a city and the entirety of Mexico Beach

    I’m glad y’all are safe! We had to do prep like this every time there was a typhoon heading towards Okinawa/South Mainland Japan. It’s definitely an interesting experience

    The pronunciation of the name is actually ha-GI-bis. The stress is on the second syllable. It's like when you say "tornado". Hagibis is the Tagalog word for "speed".
