Well the sky sure does look a bit ominous. The typhoon's supposed to be heading this way right now, and we'll see what it does.

不吉な空模様です 台風がやって来ます

日本に住む上で 台風の知識は欠かせません

程度の副詞

If you live in Japan, you know it's not just earthquakes you need to be ready for, but the occasional typhoon as well.

Becca, it's your turn. I need it, I need it!

アメリカで買いました 白熱しています！

We're playing a new game, Ticket to Ride.

This is our first time playing it. We bought it when we were in the States and now things are getting intense!

台風は海上で発生する 大規模な熱帯暴風雨です

被害も大きいので 用心が必要です

Typhoons are massive tropical storms that are called hurricanes on the Atlantic Ocean or cyclones on the Indian Ocean.

These storms can really disrupt life, so you best be prepared!

子供は寝る時間です 予報では今後24時間雨です

- 台風で休校になった事は？ - 5回くらい

Well, it's bedtime for the Reutter kids and the forecast says a ton of rain over the next 24 hours.

Have you guys ever got to skip school because of a typhoon? Yes, like 5 times.

小雨が降っていますが これから大事な仕事です

新しいスタジオの準備をします！

Well it's just barely starting to drizzle, but I'm coming here to set up something very special

A new studio desk, a new studio chair in a new studio space, yes.

台風が来ているので 娘達を学校に送ります

The typhoon is moving in today, so I'm taking the girls to school!

- 私のお気に入り - アイスのお店も！

日本にもアイスのお店はあるよ

That's my favorite place. And there's an ice cream shop!

Ice cream shop? They have ice cream shops here!

I know, but there's a lot of ice cream flavors.

Well girls, the big part of the storm is supposed to be coming in while you're at school.

Dude, it is really raining out there! Did you see that?

We have to run out to go do your doctor's appointment too.

台風 "ミンダル" でしょうか？ 交通にも影響があるかもしれません

We're going to head out into the craziness!

Look at that: route may be affected by Typhoon Mindulle, is that how they're saying that? Typhoon number 16.

台風なので必要な場合のみ出掛けます

You only head out in a typhoon if you must, and we need to see Joshua's doctor.

OK we're here! We're jumping out because it's so rainy!

この傘では 耐えられなさそうです

It is just really raining, so here we go, I've gotta go out in this!

以前の台風では 機材を2階に避難させました

I've got my little umbrella, but I don't know how much good it will do.

新しいスタジオでは 浸水の心配は無さそうです

This tiny little umbrella is not made for this kind of weather.

この2年 台風以外にも嵐がありました

In other typhoons, I've taken down my studio and moved the gear upstairs, just in case of flooding.

But this time I'm taking down the studio gear for good — at least here in this location.

Over the last two years, typhoons haven't been the only storm to hit Japan.

在宅勤務には長所と短所があります

The biggest storm to hit was that of Corona

私は14年以上 家で仕事をしています

and just like in many other places in the world, people began working from home.

この3年間 仕事場は寝室でしたが

The dynamics of working from home are completely different, full of positives and negatives.

I've been working from home for over 14 years now, so I've had some experience.

作業を中断して サラのお迎えです

But the last three years not only have I worked from home, but my office has been in my bedroom!

I wasn't able to finish it all, but I gotta go pick up Sarah

I don't want the girls walking back in the middle of the typhoon!

I'm going to go pick them up in the car. [In Japanese] How nice.

日本生活も7年目です 台風は単に激しい雨のようですが

Good friends of ours are traveling for a number of months and asked us to look after their place,

so I get to use it as my temporary home office.

This is our seventh year living in Japan, and we've always had these typhoons come through

And to us they just seem like huge rain storms.

But every once in a while, you get one that's really windy, really fierce,

2年前にハリケーン・ハギビズが直撃した時

Or you get one like what we had a couple of years ago

Two years ago, Typhoon Hagibis, one of the largest typhoons to ever be recorded,

hit Japan mainland and caused tremendous damage.

記録的な降水量で 多くの家が浸水の危機に瀕しました

Oh my goodness! OK, we got to close this. That's intense!

ハギビスについてお伝えした第26話は ナショナルジオグラフィックで取り上げられました

It's 8:00 o'clock. Oh yeah, it's starting to hit here...

It was nearly 1,000 miles wide and this super storm dumped so much water that we were in danger of losing our house to flooding.

多摩川や他の河川が氾濫しました

This footage from the 26th episode of Life in Japan was later used by National Geographic as they did a whole series on destructive storms!

我が家の向かいの堤防は 持ちこたえました

It looks like it's holding steady, which is good news for us.

Though the Tama River, just like many other rivers in Japan, overflowed its banks all along the river,

一緒に車まで歩くので 車を近くに泊めました

it didn't overflow the last barrier of the levees near our home.

Many others were not as fortunate. It was the day we almost lost our house.

So I had to park my car because they're not letting the little kids out

The parents have to go and actually pick them up and walk with them on the way back

Otherwise they hold the kids until later when the older kids get out and can walk with them.

There's a river going through the middle of this thing.

What's going on out here Anna? I'm Becca.

Thunderstorm! Whoa, sure enough! Holy cow!

It's been going on for a long time already. What a show!

I saw the first [lighting] strike. You saw the first strike?

- ワーオ！ - ビデオで撮った！

It's not electronic. Although it's electric!
