Typhoon No.6 Is Set to Become "Very Intense" on July 17, May Hit Kyushu, Shikoku

with the central pressure at 910 hectopascal (=millibar). It looks set to hit the southwestern Japan, but it is possible that it veers north once it hits Kyushu or Shikoku.

I sure hope it won't go anywhere near Fukushima. While TEPCO and NISA may think Reactor 3 is totally safe for an earthquake, it may not be for a typhoon wind and rain.
