God, please protect us.

Many people have called and emailed me to ask "Is the countryside okay, and your parents' home was in Ashikita(葦北), wasn't it?"

Thank you very much for your concern.

Fortunately, my parents' house was safe, but I have a memory that when I was in elementary school, it was flooded under the floor.

The area close to the ocean seems to have overlapped with the high tide and has been flooded quite extensively.

In my cousin's house, it seems to be the result of the flood so bad that three cars were destroyed.

When I lived in the countryside, there were several typhoons that came ashore every year, so the fear of floods and windstorms is still fresh in my mind.

We are about to enter the full-blown typhoon season, and I pray in my heart, "God, please protect us!"
