You really got a bad year.
here's hoping that it's over...
Here's hoping... But we've been lucky ourselves, very little damage,
just FAR too much rain! The village was lucky too, some damage, not
too severe, and one grandfather farmer injured in the typhoon, he's
still unconscious, I really hope he makes it. In the town a lot of
houses were flooded, waist-high water with the tatami mats floating
around, what a mess. Japan as a whole has definitely had a bad year.

Greetings Andres
Thanks for your concern, that's very kind of you.
Keith,
You ok?
Yes thanks, we're fine, it was far from here, at Niigata, north of
Tokyo. Two deaths, more than 90 hurt, but there's danger of
landslides following the typhoon, everything's still soaked. A
bullet train got derailed, or partly derailed, nobody hurt,
extraordinary.
I've been through earthquakes that strong and it is a powerful experience.
So have I, once - yes, a very powerful experience. Quite salutary -
you think the ground is good solid stuff under your feet and
suddenly it gets up and shakes itself like a dog with fleas.
It's quite something to live in Tokyo. It's only a matter of time
until there's another major earthquake there, everybody knows it,
and there are reminders of it all the time, tremors every day,
sometimes three or four a day or more, and some of them are strong,
you have to grab hold of something. It's amazing how quickly you
get used to it. People just take it in their stride, and so did we.
You get unused to it again pretty quickly too. There are only very
occasional tremors in this part of Japan and we're not used to it
at all now.
