Extraordinary weather occurrences
October is the end of the typhoon season in Osaka, the capital of the Osaka Prefecture. However, these tropical storms might still be at their pinnacle at the beginning of the month. On the other hand, the metropolis is somewhat sheltered from these storms, which tend to bring abundance of rainfall and flooding.
Japan is a country very susceptible to earthquakes because of the nearness of North American, Eurasian, Philippine and Pacific tectonic plates. These natural hazards may occur anywhere and anytime. And this Japanese metropolis is located in one of the most seismically active zones in the world. Still, most earthquakes that take place in Japan aren't dangerous.
Which can't be said for tsunamis. Earthquakes taking place under the sea trigger these powerful natural disasters, which take the form of fast and big waves that hit the coastline. When the authorities issue the tsunami warning, put distance between you and the shore, if there is enough time. If not, climb the nearest vantage point or run to the nearest secure building.
