In 2018, 49,000 people in Japan were ordered to evacuate their homes as the strongest typhoon in 25 years, Typhoon Jebi, was on course to make landfall. Among those heading for shelter were my colleague Ken Yoda, professor of behaviour and evolution, and his team, who were doing their annual field season studying a type of seabird called streaked shearwaters.
Typhoon Jebi broke wind records at 100 Japanese weather stations, with sustained wind speeds of 120 mp/h.
