Vetplant Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 A level 5 special warning for heavy rain, the highest issued by the Meteorological Agency, was issued at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday urging residents in Tokyo, Shizuoka, Kanagawa, Saitama, Gunma, Yamanashi and Nagano prefectures to evacuate to a secure building or move to the second floor. The Kanagawa Prefectural Government announced that it may have to release water from Shiroyama Dam in Sagamihara later in the day as an emergency measure to lower the water level. That move would push up the water levels in the Sagamihara River and some rivers connected to it, significantly increasing flood risks in some areas in Sagamihara, Hiratsuka, Chigasaki, Atsugi, Ebina, Zama, Samukawa and Aikawa in the prefecture, officials said. Amid concerns about landslides, flooding and record-breaking rainfall, more than 188,000 residents in Hachioji—a city in the western part of the greater Tokyo metropolitan area—and 432,000 in Edogawa Ward were issued an evacuation advisory, which is the last warning issued before a noncompulsory evacuation instruction is given.

Vetplant Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Biggest Storm to hit Japan in 60 years, throw in an earthquake as well and I am surprised we don't have massive numbers of people missing or presumed dead. Namibia vs Canada was cancelled earlier today, I wouldn't be surprised if the other games are also cancelled.

IceCreamMan Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Great game thus far. Japs running well an great ball handling
Frosty Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Go Japan, hope they give it the Scots, even though my Superbru was 2 (for the Scots).
Stretch Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Go Japan, hope they give it the Scots, even though my Superbru was 2 (for the Scots).Yup..I have the scots by 5
IceCreamMan Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Superbru I had Scots by 7. Upside with a Jap win is Boks play em in quarters. Maybe not an upside though
Vetplant Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Go Japan, sitting pretty. From here they need to only secure a loss by less than 7,everything else is cherry on top.
scotty Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Scotland appear to have gotten over the shock in the 1st half, with 10 min left its going to be nail biting.
