I thought it was some military exercise name at first, heh. Here, they only number the typhoons so we usually don’t know what the rest of the world calls them (particularly if only looking at the TV news in Japanese). Thankfully, this one is giving us a miss, but the next one coming for us is going to make my life difficult https://www.jma.go.jp/bosai/map.html#6%2F34.193%2F151.908%2F=&elem=root&typhoon=TC2617&contents=typhoon&lang=en
I feel for the folks down south dealing with this one.
Hope everyone in affected areas is safe
Wonder what the capture level of a Typhoon Dolphin is?
