And, from Chick Young, of BBC Sport:

"But what I have witnessed here is a ferocious typhoon, blowing 120mph, which threatens to huff and puff Japan further east into the Pacific. On the day Scotland eventually arrived, there had already been 90 flights cancelled out of Japanese airports.

Melor is the first typhoon to hit the mainland here in two years and it was another stark reminder that you don't mess with Mother Nature.

The wind whipped up waves the height of hills and trucks were swatted over in the gusts, while the floods broke up roads and bridges like tablet."
