Double Transport Trouble Typhoon in Kanto
Coming from the west coast of Canada, a temperate oceanic climate, I'm not afraid of a few showers. Vancouverites will joke about the kids' webbed feet. Torrential rain happens there, too, and has caused some disasters.

But "Raincouver" ain't got nothing on the Kanto region. And with the one-two punch of the double typhoons well described by BigfaminJapan, the rare combo is nothing to trifle with.
I'm dependent on train transport to get to my appointments, so I'm checking all my rail connections.
JR East has a regularly updated rail map. As I'm typing this, the number of flashing red lines is proliferating. In Chiba Prefecture, multiple lines are suspended.

Tobu Railways' English website has a link to their operation status, but it takes you to the Japanese language page. If your kanji reading is weak, please translate in your browser.
The Keisei Railway Company hides its English-language operational status, but I dug it out for you.
As I'm typing this, Typhoon #7 has moved off into the Pacific, but #8, the bigger one, is en route to the Kanto region. Here's hoping the second one only grazes the region so you can get home from work and errands!
