I woke up to this sunrise. Typhoon 11 is approaching. That’s right, Japan doesn’t give typhoons impressive names, only a number. Boring! It’s due to hit around noon. I think we will be lucky because we are only catching the edges of it. Korea is getting the brunt of it.

Also, I didn’t know WordPress were doing their version of the Instagram Story. A bit late to the party but I thought I’d give it a try. Good for photos and videos, I guess.

What? Japan doesn’t name their typhoons?! Than how can people have their Captain Ahab moment where they are shaking their fist at the storm and yelling “Curse you typhoon (enter name here)!” Typhoon number 11, just doesn’t sounds as dramatic. Well, I hope the storm passes without too much trouble and you stay safe, even if you have to miss out on a Captain Ahab impersonation moment.

I know, right! It’s weird because they have such great names for manga and anime characters.
Thanks for the good wishes. It passed without blowing any trees down or tearing off roofs in our area.

Is that number 11 of this year?

Yes, although most of them don’t pass through our area. They’re usually on the Pacific side of Japan.

Took me reading your comment to understand what was going on with the pictures.
Was that a new block or did they change the behavior of a pre-existing block?
And glad you made it through unscathed. Hurricanes can be scary things…

I found it by chance because I started to write a post using my phone. I was going to upload the photos, then change to my pc and write the post. Using the phone gave me this new option to create a “story.” I don’t know if it’s available on the standard pc editor yet.

That’s kind of sad that typhoons have only numbers… “Typhoon Sakura coming to the shores” sounds much better than “Typhoon 11”! 😀

Agreed. Perhaps they worry that a really strong and destructive typhoon is given a “nice” name?

But the rest of the world does it… Plus, they can always use not-so-noce names, like “Typhoon Leech coming to the shores of Japan!” 🤣

It’s Typhoon 11 because Japan is a gritty cyberpunk world.

Wow. It’s interesting how some of the worst weather comes with some of the most dramatic and beautiful skies. Hope all’s been well with you.
