William here with news a roundup from the Kumanichi for Wednesday, 4/20.

• The streetcar system has been fully restored. Leave your car, take the trolley!

• Investigations into temporary housing have begun focusing on Mashiki and Nishihara. The article notes that over 9,000 houses have been rendered uninhabitable throughout the quake areas, including over 5,000 in Mashiki, representing about half of the entire town. A problem they face is a lack of clear information and continuing damage. (One would think they could start building now and ask questions later.) http://kumanichi.com/news/kyodo/main/201604/20160420003.xhtml

• J-League is investigating temporarily relocating Roasso as their stadium is being used as an evacuation center.This news has disappointed approximately nobody.

• And now for the weather. Heavy rain WAS expected from this evening, but currently, it appears we’ll enjoy a rain-free night with potentially heavy rain starting from Thursday morning and continuing through the evening. Might want to get up early to get some stuff done first.

That’s all for the news. Enjoy your day!
