Well, it wasn't that bad as in the title for me, but it sure was for the people living in the south and south-west of Japan on the island of Kyushu.
About a week ago, I heard from someone on the forum where I am always at (jref) that a typhoon was on it's way and that it was a big one. I have followed it the whole week and it hit the islands of Okinawa first on Thursday/Friday, and it hit the mainland yesterday morning until today. On Okinawa the power fell out in a lot of area's and a lot of warnings were given by the Japan Meteorological Agency. Warnings such as high waves, hard rain, storm, thunderstorms and floods.
It hit this area last night and some warnings were given, but I almost didn't noticed anything except for a lot of rain and some more wind than usual.
Here are some news report on the typhoon called; Man-yi.
Strong typhoon hits western Japan, 2 dead, 2 missing, 68 injured
Warmer seawater is secret of typhoon Man-yi's strength
Tyfoon treft Japan
I feel sorry for the people in Kyushu, because whenever there is a typhoon or hard rain they are always the ones to get hit. Take care.

Guess we'll just have to wait for the next big one! J/K
Glad to know that you're doing fine!
I was in Okinawa for that one, some Banana trees got flattened but not too much major damage where I was
