Japan has been struck by the wicked Typhoon Hagibis, leading to the evacuation of millions of Japanese citizens as the natural disaster wrought chaos and caused flooding, and is said to be Japan’s “worst typhoon in six decades”.
Prior to the chaos and perhaps serving as an omen of sorts, many across the Internet pointed out Japan’s strange purple skies:
Such a spectacle is said to have happened following many devastating hurricanes in the US – according to meteorologist Lauren Rautenkranz from back in 2018, the violet sky is the result of “scattering”:
“As sunlight shines down to Earth, most of the colors of the spectrum are able to reach the surface uninterrupted. But the shorter wavelengths, blue and violet, are scattered in every direction. This light bounces from particle to particle until it eventually reaches your eyes. But the sky doesn’t appear violet and blue because of our eyes’ limitations. The light was scattered around the moisture in the air, causing the magical purple color.”
Preparing for the worse, concerned citizens quickly started buying up all the food at stores:
Some individuals who managed to stick around for a bit shared how barren both the Tokyo and Shinjuku stations were, as well as Akihabara:
Photos and videos started to spread online depicting the damage incurred, which includes the Chikuma River becoming inundated:
The typhoon is said to have already taken the lives of 10 poor souls, while also injuring 128 – on top of this, at least 16 people have gone missing.
God damn..that purple sky and the ghost town photos are unnerving. Hopefully the damage is mostly property..lives lost in these things are a real shame.
10 deaths, 128 injured and and 16 missing is a very small number for such a disaster.. but still a tragedy nonetheless.
Typhoons are pretty scary. Not only is it difficult to sleep what with the noise from the wind, but if you live near some trees, they can impact against your roof.
Freaked me the f♥♥k out when I was sat at 1am and could hear what one would describe as a giant knocking on my roof lol. It was like *Knock knock knock*.
Well, Yokai was knocking on your roof. A Yokai from the other world of purple sky.
Time to watch Tenki no ko again
I mean, they evacuated a lot of people and where prepared that it was going to be very bad, but it’s inevitable that not everybody will listen/take precautions.
Why san kom posted about Disney and PC stuff instead is another matter..
It’s time to start a colony in space, ZIEG ZEON!!

We are stuck in the planet of the apes, moon landing was fake.
We could be the survivors from Mars, or products of those survivors. There are quite a few evidences showing that Mars could have been mass nuked already, without Elon’s help.
Almost all the ancient deity myths involve some uber tech that we can now replicate fully or partly.
Dub is a mistake still. Sieg Zion.
Corrections. Sorry my bad. Sieg Zeon.
“Quite a few evidences”
> doubt increases
The Navy calls us loonies too, just like the intel community did, even if we built some stuff they can’t themselves, until they just came out in the open proving our theories just weeks ago.
Sure, they got their Ph.D. in plasma physics only from Davis, not Berkely or Caltech.
I got my degrees from one of the top STEM schools. Not the very top like Not Caltech nor MIT, but still. What and where did you get yours?

Even diploma mills ranked twenty thousand plus are accredited.
Could have gone to an even better Uni, but they don’t have anime clubs (even to this day, when pretty much every top Unis got them, especially commonly found around a STEM building or room somewhere, usually) didn’t know or show almost any anime on TV, and actively hate anime and anything foreign, even just foreign food, just like most of the rest of you on here nowadays. Sure do have a lot of beers and free alcohol tho, lots of mostly fugly Muricartoons, as well as the occasional NCAA end game riots. Don’t even have free gyms.
We have more nobel laureate professors in hard subjects too.
an accredited one
Put down the toke Elon
Yeah, because solar storms outside of Earth’s Ozone won’t be a problem.
Or the massive amounts of radiation
Or all the bad memes, that would found it’s way into space anyway.
Or the meteor showers.
No, its time to sort out s♥♥t we did to earth and stop hoping for colonies and science like its some kind of religion that would save you from all and transfer you to heaven. Such consumer mindset would backfires anywhere, especially in space.
You are correct, but it is proven time and time again, nowadays they are anime hating snowflakes who don’t know anything otaku other than meme and sound bits, who are here to lulz and troll for Trump.
I am for Trump too, because he will further promotes my financial and other interests, Sad.
Death toll is up to 36 now. I was watching a live cam of Akiba and it was so weird to see it as a near ghost town during the day. There were a few people who walked around and some cars of course, but everything was closed down.
Typhoons, aka hurricanes, aren’t anything unusual for Japan, but still pretty devastating nonetheless, to say the least. Is there anywhere people can donate to rescue/rebuilding efforts?
Due to typhoons being a usual occurrence, it’s the reason the Japanese don’t spend money on housing (renovations or decorating to make the house look nicer/different). Because what’s the point if the home could be destroyed by a typhoon, tsunami or earthquake – which are all common in the country? Only time they would do it is for repairs and reinforcement. It’s why a good portion of the Japanese have money left over, which they either save up for retirement or their hobbies.
I though they have more money due to different economy and different pay rates and prices but ok.
Beautiful.
