The Typhoon has finally moved out to sea, but it didn't want to take all its rain with it. It's been raining here steadily for days now. The only difference is the wind! At least the temperature is not too bad. 26.4c (78F) Just another day in my rain suit...

Thanks, but there was never any danger. I stapled my right foot to the floor. The worst that could have happened was...

I live ~10 miles from poohbear and the same 200 from WT... But I wouldn't say that we live in hell. On the contrary, my partner and I still went out for our run yesterday around 4 and got a nice steambath from the microburst storm we had just minutes earlier. Its always fun running through the clouds of steam rising from the pavement. Really, its all about hydration and mindset

On TV, they just reported flooding in ALASKA due to the ice melting too quickly and overfilling a river. It is officially hot when Alaska melts.

When I moved to Tokyo, I used to wonder why they put these little trickle of a river at the bottom of a huge concrete bed. I understood why when the first typhoon came, in a matter of hours the bed was filled with rushing water!

Looks like it needs to melt some more here due to Ice jam/dam!

But this is probably the one you are referring to: Near Juneau/Mendenhall Glacier

Continued unbearably hot! High of 104 F today (heat index 110 - 115). Had a monsoon-like microburst rain shower yesterday. No sign of storms yet today. No break until (maybe) Monday or so. Sigh.

There is a HUGE river bed between my house and metro Kyoto. Perhaps a full kilometer across. But usually the actually 'river' is no more than a hundred meters across... until the rains come. Then the whole thing fills from bank to bank, looking like a kayaking course! A day later it's back to being a gentle little stream.
