However, in Susono, we live on the Gotemba line, which only runs twice an hour in the best of times, and which is sensitive to high winds and heavy rains and frequently is late or stops running in typhoons, so, considering the anticipated severity of this one, we were ready!
And - as fate would have it - we had no need to be really concerned. The typhoon hit hard during the night, and rattling windows woke us up sporadically, but we essentially were lulled to sleep by the quiet storm. In the morning, the vestiges of the typhoon still swirled around, but not severely so, and the trains were mostly on time. I did have to drive to work today, but, because everyone else in Susono had likely been given directives not to go to work in the morning, the typical traffic mess was non-existent, and I even made record time!
Part of the beauty of typhoons is the 'after-math', which, for me included a mostly clear sky with a cloud-topped Mt. Fuji from our balcony:
