I can’t help snickering everytime I hear someone on TV say the name of the next typhoon approaching Japan. Tropical storm number 5 is called “Usagi” or “bunny rabbit”. Is it a new trend to name typhoons after cute furry animals? It’s only a matter of time before we see “typhoon hamster” or “typhoon kitty.” If typhoon usagi turns into a level 4 typhoon as they are predicting, I don’t think people will think the name is cute when it hits Shikoku.
Cute name or not, I hate typhoons, as I have to cycle to work.
Take a taxi ;-)
Wow, Japan has to have cute names for TYPHOONS?
While Usagi does mean rabbit, in this case it refers
to the constellation Lepus. All the Japanese submissions
to the Asian names convention for typhoons are
constellations. Sorry, no hamster.
If you don’t think a cute bunny rabbit can cause a lot of damage, you haven’t seen what my rabbit has done to my carpet! She’s still cute, though.
