        @Giles:

        Kenta and his family are being evacuated.

        An oil tanker hit the Kansai Airport bridge just after we left.

        It's wild…..

        I saw Kenta's IG post  😞

        Hope the hotel bar is in the basement…

                i've experienced the most devastating typhoon (Ondoy) back in 09 on a missionary trip in a rural village in the Philippines, it was pretty devastating as we were stuck and it was felt bad leaving after seeing the devastation it left behind. it was worse for the people that actually lived there. japan's infrastructure should fare better than the Philippines but nonetheless, stay safe and indoors.

                                      possible to fly out from another airport instead?

                                          My poor boys…

                                          But they are safe and well, and have power and internet access, so we count our blessings - many people are having a truly desperate time.

                                          Latest news is that they are booked on flight from Nagoya via Helsinki on Thursday, which will get them back home on Thursday evening - my fingers, toes etc. are crossed.

                                          And it could have been far worse, I was considering making the trip with them...  😉

                                            Thanks for the update. While it must be stressful for them I’m sure they’re making the best of it.
