Typhoon No. 9 crossed Honshu - the main island of Japan - from west to east. It had been predicted it would cross further north than it did, but nonetheless it caused quite some damage.
As for local conditions, there was some very heavy rain for about an hour (during which I had to drive to work) followed by some more gentle rain on and off. There was only gentle wind here.
I'm pretty sure some star-trails will be the winners of ribbons in this challenge.
The following morning as I left for work, the sky was like this (in part).
I had my polarising filter on the lens already. ;-Þ

good job of making the clouds the center point of your picture and NOT having something else in it to distract or dominate it...nice clarity, a bit blown out on the left but not to bad at all...
