Typhoon Shanshan’s path across Japan has been closely watched by many as it blasts the country with torrential rain and raging winds. But as the deadly storm made landfall this week, others were glued to a live stream featuring a solitary palm tree standing up to the fiercely inclement weather, showing us that not all heroes wear capes — some wear fronds.
As the storm approached, the almost 12-hour stream by a Japanese weather station captured the lanky tree on the coast of Kyushu, the country’s southwestern-most main island, whipping back and forth violently — but never toppling. The dramatic display of resilience won the hearts of thousands online, many of whom flooded the comments to root for the tree — known affectionately as “Yasshi” — to survive.
