Hi! I hope the heavy rain wasn’t too much of a problem for most of you today.

The rain in Kumamoto is a major news story in Japan today. Unfortunately, I was too preoccupied with my own activities to post about evacuation and flood warnings today (there were quite a few) but, as more rain is expected, I’d like to follow this post up with a few more in the hope that providing more information might help some of you avoid dangerous circumstances.
