rain rain rain

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


no birdsong -
only strong rain drums
on my roof



Japan is full to the brink with rainwater ...
For the last three days, almost constant rain of the strongest kind.

西日本で豪雨、土砂崩れなど被害続く






I wake up from the pounding, after an almost sleepless night, the third in a row.
The grey umbrella shows we had 11 mm/h from six to nine this morning.
next
The grey umbrella shows we had 7 mm/h from nine till 12 this morning.



. 大雨 まだ 大雨 
BIG RAIN

Just watched the 11 o'clock news
Wednesday, 14th of July 2010

Kagoshima is hit in many places, rivers overflowing, mudslides, hole mountain slopes coming down.
Forcast is more heavy rain for Western Japan, including red-alert warnings for our area.




More rain is expected until mid-day tomorrow, the 15th:
maybe 150 ml in 24 hours
with strong downpoors of 50 - 70 ml in one hour ... oh dear !

.................................................................................


Morning of Thursday, July 15

The night was not as bad as predicted in my area, now it is raining "peacefully" just a little, until tomorrow ... we hope.

Thinking of you, Gabi san. Hold on to your roof, your cats and your garden! And wishing you a night of sound sleep very soon.
