I think what happened today would be one of the most tragic histories in my hometown. You may already know the mud avalanche hit Okaya, Nagano. It is the city next to my home town and the place my younger sister and her family live.
Their address is Kawagishi-Higashi, just at the spot the avalanche hit. Fortunately her house is not located as high. The crazy mud didn't come but right up to the hill from her house.
In the morning I didn't realize it was that bad because where I live now was located the other side of Okaya and was totally safe, The rain had been falling hard but not pouring. Who predict that the disaster would come?
As TV shows broadcasted about Okaya on and on and on, I understood how huge it was. I came to be scared imagining if my sister would have injured.. There was a possibility that she might have died!
I thanked everything that protect her from the disaster!

Internet shows much terrible news.
I can’t believe that…
