    The Day After Sanba

    By okikitty  |  Posted September 17, 2012  
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     iReporter okikitty recorded the aftermath of Typhoon Sanba in Okinawa, Japan on Monday morning. "The storm had passed, however, the Japan Meteorological Agency still has high wave advisories in effect due to the sea conditions," she said. "Typhoons are a part of life in Okinawa during the summer and early fall [and] I find myself recording and sharing the conditions before, during and after these storms to share." The typhoon, which killed one person in Japan, has since moved on to batter North and South Korea, killing one person in the south, reports said.

    Blue skies over Okinawa give residents a sign of relief that Typhoon Sanba has finally passed. Typhoon Sanba approached Okinawa late Saturday evening as a category 4 before losing some strength and becoming a category 3 once passing through Okinawa.

     

    Although the wind and rain are no longer a threat JMA has released high wave advisories throughout Okinawa due to the rough seas that Sanba has left behind.

     

    Although some public transportation resumed yesterday all public transportation systems are back up and running today to include busses, the monorail and the airport.

     

    Authorities did not report that any fatalities occurred in Okinawa due to Typhoon Sanba, however, there is currently one person missing. The 29 year old man from Naha who was snorkeling off Ishgaki Island, an island which is part of the chain of islands which make up Okinawa. Some believe that he was taken by the large waves and has yet to be found.
