Keiho-ed

Just to note, in case the news of my part of the world has reached your part of the world, we have had too much of the plum rain and now we are melting. Luckily, my family lives on the second floor of a solid apartment building not very near rivers or mountains. Unfortunately, most people in our area do. We are under evacuation orders or a command to move to the second floor because of flooding. Sirens have been wailing all night. The emergency alarms on the phone keep going off every twenty minutes or so, telling us of landslide dangers, overflowing rivers, telling us to stay indoors, to stay up and out of the way.
The weather warning map is completely purple, like a nasty bruise. It is very serious but we are okay, I want to assure you of that. We are okay.
