Kirk with more weather. It’s calm where I am in Kumamoto City but we’re not quite out of the woods yet. The image is one I took from the following website, which is run by the prefecture:

What you see is only a sample. There are warnings for most areas in Kumamoto. One reason is that we’re forecast to get more heavy rain between now and noon tomorrow. And, of course, in regard to landslides or “sediment disasters” (a rather awkward direct translation of the Japanese 土砂災害), the fact that many areas are already more-or-less saturated means that the additional weight of some newly fallen rainwater may be all that is needed to trigger a landslide. If you’re in a vulnerable area, play it safe!

P.S. There was an earthquake earlier this evening. I didn’t feel it but I saw something about it on a news program I had recorded. If we have the bad luck to have some more serious shaking before things dry out, that will probably trigger lots of landslides. The 2016 quakes trigger lot of landslides all over the place even though the ground wasn’t particularly wet at the time.
