If you’re in Kumamoto City (and probably other parts of the prefecture) you don’t need me to tell you that there’s been an inordinate amount of thunder in the last hour or so. Thunderstorm and heavy rain advisories have been issued for much of the prefecture and warnings have been issued for areas south of Kumamoto City. Check out the JMA’s website for details:

P.S. Normally, thunder doesn’t bother me too much but even I have found the recent rumblings to be a bit disconcerting.
