Live Video - Shizuoka City

[serotta1972]

Anyone know where this is at?  I've sat and watched this feed every now and then and have yet to see a train pass by.  Also it looks like it was impacted by the Typhoon as the roads are closed and road work is being done.

 

 

Thanks,

Junior

This is the mount Fuji live camera, on the Tokaido Line.

Its Shizuoka City.  From this location you can see Mount Fuji.  There's no traffic so things must be shut down.

Ah thanks, they have another camera positioned differently and has a nice view of Mt. Fuji but less of the highway and tracks.  That's usually a pretty busy highway.  What trains run through here?

That's the Tokaido Honsen, motorway is the Tomei. Surprised it's closed, typhoon is long gone.

Due to high waves according to the Nexco site: http://www.c-nexco.co.jp/traffic/

@ 17:51 - cars going in one lane and lots of amber flashing lights on vehicles for the other lanes.

Here's a different angle with the view of Mt. Fuji.

Oh man, footage during the storm and people still driving through despite the flooding and big waves.  Start around 1:50. Yikes!

I like the car that shows up around 2:15 going south, that gives up and goes the other way

Wow amazing that building is still there. Acting as a breakwater for the highway!

Google maps says its a noodle shop, hope the building is sealed up tight! 

[cteno4]

Soggy noodles now...

There is so much happening in that video...

The car that gets stuck in the middle, does a 100-point to come back, stuck again, gets help, does 100-points to continue 'up'.

The workers are the best... it actually looks like they're repairing metres of track directly after a wave attacks it!

Imagine the criticism from the trade unions if you were to let railway workers do their work in that kinda weather over here in Europe... even if that means trains probably wouldn't run for at least days after (relatively small) floodings like this.

From someone who is lucky enough to never have been anywhere near a Typhoon and who doesn't live that close to the coast, some of those waves look terrifying. I think the worst ones were the ones that cleared the rail lines.
