Oh shit... stay safe everyone. Hope everyone gets through the storm without too much trouble.
I just think it is good that several soap lands have closed shop for the day.
And most of them because they decided it was a good idea to go outside.
I was watching Shibuya live camera yesterday and there were a ton of people outside.... and lots of taxis too.

And surprisingly many think it is a good idea to go to see how up the rivers have swollen. There are the people who end up adding to that number.

Sadly these days there’s money in that.
I found it really interesting the food choices people make for disasters, and food choices they don't think about. I went to the store 2 days before the typhoon hit, and the cup of noodle section was completely wiped out. Directly across from the cup noodles was the pasta. Completely stocked. I grabbed some spaghetti and some macaroni to buffer what I already keep on hand at home.
The same went for the canned foods, nothing was touched. I made sure to get enough tomato puree and cut tomatoes to make a sauce. I also grabbed beef and chicken bullion from that aisle so I could make something with that if I needed too.
Root vegetables can keep for days. Carrots, potatoes, onions, can all keep at least a week if kept in a cool place. Apples and pears will keep a few days. Most vegetables will keep a few days. So for disaster yes stock up on the dry goods, but please buy the fresh stuff so the first couple days you're not eating your emergency dry food.
Of course, I also have a Coleman camp stove and keep gas canisters under the sink in case we have no gas, so I have the means to cook for at least 4 days without gas. While I don't eat the onions or carrots raw, I sure do enjoy raw potato (color me strange) so that wouldn't bother me, as long as they're pealed and cleaned. I have to buy an extra potato on thanksgiving cause while I'm making the mashed, I'll snack out on the raw that I am cutting.
Same, I stocked up on mostly nuts and fresh fruits. The bread they sell in konbini gives me stomach cramps anyways.. Still drinking the “disaster” water thoI actually also bought more fresh foods than dry/canned stuff. I can easily make food for a couple of days with very few ingredients such as tomato sauce or even just potatoes, leek etc.
the bread, meat, cup ramen and water section was completely wiped out at my supermarket and people on SNS kept complaining there is nothing left. While my 7-11 nearby had a ton of water on Friday at 11pm....

The supply of bottled water you lay in for a typhoon.OK, I have to ask what "disaster" water is.
The supply of bottled water you lay in for a typhoon.
It's this part that is confusing me though.Yeah, we get water service here, so we always have disaster water available

NO! Wrong teachings. That would just be normal water stored for emergency use.
Real Disaster Water needs to have the text 防災備蓄用 written on it.
Like this: View attachment 12376
If you compare it to the normal water you can see the difference: View attachment 12377
Now go on and use only real Disaster Water during the disasters, say no to fake Disaster Water!
Well, then our water isn't "disaster water" in your definition, it's what we put aside in case of a disaster...
Yep, beyond that date the integrity of the bottle is not guaranteed. If stored in a dark place, the bottles can last for decades - it's UV light that causes them to degrade.The expiration date is for the bottle, not the water, right?
