The Weather's Getting Crazy

Littered streets of Akiba after a hurricane in '12.
Apparently news made it out to the rest of the world that there was a tornado in Tokyo. I actually hadn't heard about it until after I got a concerned mail from my mother. The tornado apparently hit Koshigaya, injuring 60-some people. It's a little out of the city borders actually, but that's where Kazue used to live! Shit, weather be getting crazy down here.
 Though the month of June kind of gets rep for being the rainy season, this is my second September in Tokyo and it's kind of proving to be the worst of the two evils here. Freak thunderstorms have been hitting the area, shutting down trains and the like. From what I hear, it's actually not so uncommon that the trains themselves get hit by bolts of lightning, though passengers never really feel or see the effects other than the agonizing slowness of their commute.
20$ says there'll be one or two more typhoons this month.
