Typhoon Neoguri pounds Japan as 500,000 are advised to leave homes
Officials tell the public to take shelter as Okinawa is battered by winds of more than 150mph and 46-ft-high waves
A powerful typhoon is pounding the southern Japanese islands of Okinawa, with residents taking refuge from destructive winds, towering waves and storm surges.
Airports closed and residents were evacuated from low-lying areas and shorelines as typhoon Neoguri passed through Okinawa, with sustained wind speeds of 108 miles (175km) an hour and gusts of up to 154mph, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.
The storm was due to hit the main Okinawan city of Naha on Tuesday evening. Japanese national broadcaster NHK said one woman had suffered a head injury in the storm and a fisherman was missing after he was swept off a boat in seas near the southern island of Kyushu.

Hope it loses a lot of strength before it hits Fukushima.
150 mph winds at Okinawa...good grief!

It's still plenty bad enough.

I'm further north in South Korea and while Jeju and Busan may get hit, we'll miss all the action.
