Customers have been lined up for the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c in Tokyo’s Ginza since last week. But a powerful typhoon hit the city on Monday, prompting evacuations in some parts of the city.

Before the storm struck, and before the Apple Store was open to the public, customers camped out for the next iPhone were invited inside for shelter, according to Kotaku. Those lined up for Apple’s next iPhones were allowed to rest in the store, bring in their wet possessions, and were provided with complimentary bottled water.
