Couple points for TL:DR'ers - Residents of Tokyo have been urged to exercise the utmost caution.

"There are no nuclear power plants on Okinawa, but Kyushu, which is expected to experience violent winds and torrential rain on Thursday, is home to two atomic facilities. There is another on nearby Shikoku island.

Nuclear plant operators say they have well-rehearsed measures in place all year round, while the typhoon is expected to have largely blown itself out by the time it reaches the north-east of Japan, where the FukushimaDaiichi plant is located.

All of the country's nuclear reactors remain closed as a result of the triple meltdown in Fukushima just over three years ago."

 

That's good to hear.
