The JMA still has it in the cone.


The JWTC/Navy has had very little shift in its tracking path.


The Navy has had Japan as landfall.  Very bad.  I did not post this yesterday but, it looks like the  Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant could get hit.  I am unable to find the article but there are still problems.  I did find this.

Doubts over ice wall to keep Fukushima safe from damaged nuclear reactors  Frozen barrier, costing 185m, being built around Fukushima Daiichi's four damaged reactors to contain irradiated water.

In fading light and just a stone's throw from the most terrifying scenes during Japan's worst nuclear accident, engineers resumed their race against time to defeat the next big threat: thousands of tonnes of irradiated water.

If all goes to plan, by next March Fukushima Daiichi's four damaged reactors will be surrounded by an underground frozen wall that will be a barrier between highly toxic water used to cool melted fuel inside reactor basements and clean groundwater flowing in from surrounding hills.

Up to 400 tonnes of groundwater that flows into the basements each day must be pumped out, stored and treated - and on-site storage is edging closer to capacity. Decommissioning the plant will be impossible until its operator, Tokyo Electric Power [Tepco] addresses the water crisis.

Last month workers from Tepco and the construction firm Kajima Corp began inserting 1,550 pipes 33 metres vertically into the ground to form a rectangular cordon around the reactors. Coolant set at -30C will be fed into the pipes, eventually freezing the surrounding earth to create an impermeable barrier.

I also found this very similar to the article I glanced at yesterday.

If anyone out there believes in praying I think Japan could use some.
