Can never understand why NHK weather reporters never mention the paths of typhoons and there destruction over OTHER countries. Like Never.

The forecasts only focus on Japan.

Last night they mentioned the winds picking up over Ishigaki Island.

While Philippines and now Taiwan have been crushed.

All a bit weird.

As hurricanes approach southern USA the paths of devastation over Caribbean countries are always mentioned - even alienated Cuba.

Cyclones approaching Australia are always reported by forecasters from their start and what damage they are causing in the east side - Oceania/South Pacific or the west side - Indonesia, Timor etc.

Why?

Pray for the Taiwanese people. Number one supporters of Japan in her times of disaster.

Amazing people, and I hope this awful typhoon will pass soon.

And of course - please may the Philippine people stay safe in this typhoon too.

Everyone be safe.
