My husband had to go out on an urgent errand around 10, taking a small road toward another valley. He called around 11, the small road had cracked by the rain in many parts, he barely made it. But he had to take a safer road back home and spent much more time on the detour.
Now he is back home safely now!
The drumming rain on the roof is deafening ... but still ...

May 30, Monday
We had strong rain and wind over night, but now, about six in the morning, it became quiet, hopefully to stay. There is a lot of damage in many parts of Japan as the weather pattern moves to toward Tohoku.
A cold front from the north moved in over Okayama and brought us a wet and cold morning.

Tropical storm brings heavy rain to Japan
A tropical storm, downgraded from a typhoon, is bringing heavy rain across a large area from western to eastern Japan.
The Meteorological Agency is calling for caution against mudslides.
The agency says the typhoon changed to a tropical storm around 3 PM on Sunday, after passing near southern Kyushu and reaching waters south of Shikoku.
Wet air from the south continues to blow into the front that stretches along the southern coasts of western and eastern Japan, causing heavy rain in the Shikoku, Kinki and Tokai regions.
Some parts of western Japan have had up to 250 millimeters of rainfall in the past 24 hours, heightening the risk of landslides.
Winds of up to 117 kilometers per hour were observed in Okayama Prefecture.
Wet air from the south is expected to hit cold air from the north above Honshu through Monday, and some parts of western and eastern Japan will have 50 to 70 millimeters of rainfall per hour. Heavy rain is also likely along the Pacific coast of the Tohoku region.
Gusts of up to 90 kilometers per hour are expected along the Pacific coast of western Japan through Monday. Waves will top 6 meters on the Pacific coast of eastern and western Japan as well as the Tohoku region.
Quake-hit areas have become vulnerable to mudslides and floods due to the loosening of the ground.
The agency is warning of possible flooding in low-lying areas, overflowing rivers, strong winds and high waves.

TEPCO prepares for hard rain at Fukushima plant
The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant is taking measures to stop heavy rain and strong winds affecting the cooling system.
Local weather authorities in Fukushima Prefecture say the rain and winds are expected around the plant on Monday morning.
TEPCO is piling up sandbags to prevent rain from getting inside electrical facility buildings.
Special vehicles used to inject water into the spent fuel storage pools have been moved away and their 50-meter arms folded so they won't blow over.
TEPCO says it won't matter if no water is injected into the spent fuel storage pool of the Number 4 reactor for a week, as it has put enough water into the pool.
As part of preparations for the expected thunderstorms, TEPCO has fixed a giant storage barge to the quay. The barge will be used to hold relatively low-level radioactive water.
Removal of debris and reinforcement of the fuel pool will be suspended if wind and rain intensify.
Contaminated water levels in the tunnels and the turbine buildings of the Number 2 and 3 reactors have been rising.
TEPCO will continue to monitor the situation to make sure that contaminated water does not overflow and run into the sea or groundwater.
Expert: no threat of radiation from rain
Professor 山下俊一 Shunichi Yamashita of Nagasaki University says there's no need to prepare for radioactive rain.
Yamashita said on Sunday that no radiation has been detected in dust in the atmosphere. He was referring to an investigation conducted last week in areas more than 20 kilometers away from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
He says the rains mean radioactive substances on the ground will be washed away and thinly diffused, except for in areas that collect rain.

Work suspended at Fukushima plant due to hard rain
The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant has suspended some of its outdoor work due to heavy rain and strong winds caused by a tropical storm.
Tokyo Electric Power Company says it is watching closely to ensure that contaminated water in reactor buildings and elsewhere do not flow outside as the water levels have been rising because of the rain.
It has been raining since Sunday in the areas around the Fukushima plant.
The utility has stopped spraying chemicals to prevent radioactive dust from spreading. It is also considering suspending work to remove debris.
It has piled up sandbags to prevent rain from getting inside electrical facility buildings to ensure the reactor cooling systems continue to function.
TEPCO has also secured a giant storage barge that was deployed to contain contaminated water to a quay.

台風２号 ２９日夕から３０日大雨の恐れ
強い台風２号の接近に伴い、四国の南海上にある梅雨前線が活発化し、岡山県内では29日夕から30日にかけて１時間に30ミリの激しい雨が降る恐れがあり、県や岡山地方気象台は河川の増水や土砂災害に注意を呼び掛けている。最接近は30日午前中の見込み。
県内の28日午後６時から24時間の予想雨量は平均50ミリ。多いところでは岡山市の５月の総雨量（平年１２５・０ミリ）に近い１００ミリが降るところもある。26日午後の降り始めから28日午後９時までの総雨量は玉野市47・０ミリ、笠岡市43・５ミリ、倉敷市40・５ミリなど。
29日は風が強まり、最大風速は陸上で15メートル、海上で18メートル。波の高さは２メートルになると予報している。
台風１号の影響で11日から12日にかけて降り続いた大雨では、高梁市松山の民家裏の畑が崩れ、土砂が屋内に流入。津山、高梁市、西粟倉村の16世帯29人が河川の氾濫や土砂崩れを警戒して公会堂や集会所に自主避難した。土砂崩落や落石などで道路の通行止めも相次いだ。
県危機管理課は「台風１号の影響で降った大雨や数日前から続く雨で、地盤の緩んでいる所が多くあるとみられ、土砂災害に注意が必要。今後の雨量によっては河川の氾濫も考えられるため、近づかないようにしてほしい」と呼び掛けている。

Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan 'unready for typhoon'
Japan's crippled Fukushima nuclear plant is not fully prepared for heavy rain and winds of a typhoon heading towards the country, officials admit.
Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco), which runs the plant, said some reactor buildings were uncovered, prompting fears the storm may carry radioactive material into the air and sea.
Typhoon Songda is expected to hit Japan as early as Monday.
...
Fukushima was heavily damaged by the deadly 11 March quake and tsunami.
'Inappropriate measures'
"We have made utmost efforts, but we have not completed covering the damaged reactor buildings," a Tepco official said on Saturday.
"We apologise for the lack of significant measures against wind and rain," the official added.
