Typhoons always make life difficult for people, but the problems are even bigger when they hit during a long holiday like “obon.” Typhoon #10, known as Typhoon Krosa in English, looks like it will make landfall in Shikoku soon. Many people have gone back to their hometowns all around the country, and now they are trying to get back home. Some trains are not running, and airlines are cancelling flights. When and how is everyone going to get home? Actually, my daughter and her family are planning to fly back from Hokkaido today. I hope they make it! (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
