FUKUOKA, July 25, 2009 KYODO
Torrential rain hit western Japan on Friday and Saturday, leaving seven people dead and two others missing from mudslides and flooding, local authorities said.
Following the downpours in the Kyushu and Shikoku regions in southwestern Japan and the Chugoku region in the western part of the country, the Japan Meteorological Agency called for caution as heavy precipitation may continue through Sunday in those areas.
Earlier this week, heavy rain left 14 people dead and three others missing in Yamaguchi Prefecture in the Chugoku area.

Hello, Gabi san,
What a tragic haiku -- so sad, the weather disruptions around the world, here a drought, there a flood, and the people and animals suffering. And more to come, as your haiku says.
Be safe, neko
Hi Gabi,
I'm so sorry for what is happening in Japan.The haiku you wrote tell it all....Keep SAFE and dry ...
From a chilly computer laboratory,

Oh Gabi, what sad news...
and a frightening situation in so many parts of the world, as weather continues to change its patternss.
This is a powerful haiku.

How startling! you must all be shocked by this fury.
you've caught it well in your haiku... i like the structure of 'more rain' L1 and 'still growing' L3 ..a kind of circling...(not the meaning of course ...horrific)
Will be thinking of you and your mountain and hope it stays still.
