?@nzzp more for the visually impaired
As above, it looks smaller than it did 36 or so hours earlier, but still looks nasty.
edit: since I posted above screenshot, the eye has moved North-east slightly

Hagibis now cat 3 (was 5) and weakening. Seriously massive weather system though.
Check out https://earth.nullschool.net
there's one big storm in the world right now, and it's right over the RWC. Ha ha ha ha ha, as they say... rotten luck.
@gt12 is this one really as big as they say - potentially the biggest in 60 years? If so, could explain the early cancellations and the inability to reschedule.
Also, I read somewhere they thought they could handle one rearrangement, but 3-4 was just not feasible. Makes sense to me; I'm gutted games got canned, but I totally get why

It’s still not even touched down and we are already on an evacuation warning here, as are a few other places in Yokohama and Tokyo. It’s moving slowly, which sucks a bit.
Heaps of rain - not much wind yet - saw on the news this morning that they predict we’ll get up to 800 mls of rain within this 36 hour period, and up to 1000 down around Shizuoka where it should hit first.
To put that in perspective, October is one of the heavier rainfall months with about 135 mls on average. Some places will get that in an hour (perhaps more). Our little garden already has about 2cm of standing water, so I’m a bit concerned.
So, we’ll see how strong it is as a typhoon, but just for precipitation, things are already very worrying - mainly because they get concerned about landslides with this much rain, which often come down on the houses built on the flat land below. That was what made the storms in Hiroshima so bad a couple of years ago.

Anyway, as it is moving pretty slowly, I think it will be a very long day and Sunday games in Iwate must be up for the chop. I’ll bet that the Japan game happens, the trains are due to start running at midday tomorrow (will all be shut down here by midday today).

In years to come , it’s going to be interesting to see How this World Cup is remembered ,
Let’s hope we have a cracking finals series and All the negativity can be put to bed.

Cards will decide a narrow fixture, and they'll be controversial as all hell.
Alternatively, we'll romp through, post loads of poitns and all will be forgiven
