Tokyo tempest in full swing

As I write, a tropical depression like tempest over a large part of Japan is in full swing. The temperature should raise today in Tokyo by 11 degrees Celsius and reach early Summer levels. The 25 stories tower we live in Tokyo has been swaying for hours - sea sicking - while the wind is literally pounding window panes outside. A small curtain clothe has been sucked out of a closed and supposedly well sealed access door to the balcony. Scary.
