I suspect this typhoon might deserve its own thread, and I suspect some serious discussion took place at some offices within the JR system and they decided they will lose a fair bit of income and be safe, rather than trust that all will work out okay with this typhoon.
But I do not believe that even the JMA people are sure what to expect from Typhoon 15 and I have some proof of that with a screen grab I did when the JMA people put that not so often seen 'rainstorm' image on their weather page; but then removed it. Clearly an indication of a change in thinking.
Strangely, we don't get too many typhoons slamming into the central Kanto area like this one might, so I sure hope people remember the basics and stay safe.
