JEBI, JAPAN'S STRONGEST TYPHOON
IN 25 YEARS,
HAS LEFT DESTRUCTION AND A MAJOR
AIRPORT SHUT DOWN... LEAVING
MANY TRAVELERS STRANDED,
INCLUDING OUR OWN "WAKE UP
2DAY'S" KELLY SIMEK .
LOCAL JAPANESE NEWS OUTLETS
REPORT
TYPHOON JEBI LEFT SMASHED CARS
AND
DEBRIS ALL OVER OSAKA, AMONG THE
WORST-HIT
CITIES.
KANSAI AIRPORT WAS SHUT DOWN
WHEN AN
OCEAN TANKER HIT AND DAMAGED ITS
BRIDGE.
KELLY SIMEK WAS STRANDED AT THE
AIRPORT FOR 30 HOURS.
SHE WAS ABLE TO TAKE A FERRY OUT
TO THE TOWN
OF "KOBE."
KELLY SIMEK: "Going through this
typhoon, it's
essentially what we would have
gone through with a cat
1 hurricane, right? Basically I
learned I'm pretty well
prepared. I wouldn't do anything
different."
KELLY SIMEK: "We're gonna hang
out in Japan. We're
going to try to figure out how
to get back this weekend. It's
looking like if Osaka doesn't
open, the flights aren't
Monday, it's looking like."

KELLY SAYS, SHE MANAGED TO MAKE
IT TO A "7/11" TO LOAD UP ON
SNACKS AND WATER FOR A
FEW DAYS... GOOD TIMING, SINCE
THE NEXT DAY
EVERYTHING WAS SHUT DOWN.
