Dear residents,

According to China Meteorological Administration forecast, Typhoon Haikui will affect Zhejiang, Shanghai and Jiangsu provinces this evening and tomorrow.

According to our Travel Advice, travellers should avoid visiting isolated or rural areas if a typhoon system is forecast or affecting the area. If you encounter a storm, pay close attention to the instructions of local authorities. Local infrastructure may be affected and there may be widespread flooding, including in urban areas. Take precautions including; avoiding unnecessary journeys, staying in touch with family and friends who may be concerned and ensuring you have a supply of clean drinking water. Flooding can increase the threat of water-borne disease; do not wade through flood-water with any undressed cuts or abrasions on your feet and legs. Continue to monitor weather reports.
The Japan Meteorological Agency( http://www.jma.go.jp/en/typh/) and the China Meteorological Administration (http://www.cma.gov.cn/en/) provides information and forecasts (in English) about approaching storms in the region.

Best regards

This one's good for watching almost live (like hourly) updates.

It's horrible here and I don't have any food in the house

It looked not that bad from my window because it's facing away from the storm, went outside and my umbrella snapped

At some point I am going to become hungry enough to go out into the storm :(

And when Kitano is finally hungry enough to go outside for food, the scene will look something like this:

I'd better get a lot of beer in case it lasts a few days!

...That's more like it, food and water are for wimps.  Nothing like relaxing at home with a drink while a storm rages outside (unfortunately I choose this month to detox after my last hangover beat my ass).

From the link above it looks like Hangzhou is about to get well and truly battered BTW.

Unless it makes a sharp right turn, it looks like Shanghai will be mostly spared.
