Thoughts and notes of a researcher in plant genetics and nutritional epidemiology in Japan and the U.S. with a wide range of interests - choral activities, photography, nature, travel, and drawing. L'épanouissement personnel means personal development and fulfillment. Still in the middle of it, enjoying the process. 農学部、酒類企業研究員を経て、米国ミシガン州立大学で博士過程を卒業後、植物遺伝学と食物疫学の研究に片足ずつつっこんでいます。趣味の合唱、自然観察、旅行、写真、絵描き、国際交流など、いろんな記録です。L'épanouissement personnelは自己研鑽、実現というような意味です。生涯に渡って一緒に旅する人生のテーマ。

Heavy Rain
It rained very heavily last Friday. Along the road were 15 cm-deep streams at around 7 pm. I walked 30 minutes to go home, with my ankles under the water, and got totally soaked. Even though I was holding my umbrella, my jeans and parka were dripping wet.
Landslide has been reported in Northern Kyushu area due to this heavy rain. It is estimated that it rained twice as much as average precipitation in July for the last 3 days.
I have never experienced a heavy rain like this. It seems strange that it rains quite often this month, when usually it is very hot and sunny.
