muikabochi 208 Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 At one point yesterday, the water level coming into my building entrance was over 1m. It's not raining this morning so water has moved on. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 wow!! The pics on the news are crazy.....Korea has been badly hit as well, places look like a tsunami had hit it Link to post Share on other sites

tokabochi 9 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Pretty bad around here. Friend I know their first floor which is basically the garage was completely filled with water, and now with mud. Not sure if his car will be ok now after being completely submerged and with all that mud.... Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Has Sanjo been heard from yet? His power out, perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 I spoke with him he's OK. Sanjo and that area got really rained on big time too and had those big floods a number of years back. His place ok. Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Good to hear. Link to post Share on other sites
sanjo 2 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Doing ok, thanks for the concern. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Good to hear from you Sanjo. Glad you are OK. Was driving my boy home from the airport last night, umm..this morning (3am) and the downpour was "drop to 40km/hr so you could see SOMETHING" heavy - he said "What is going on with the world Mum, this is just like it has been in Korea!" I thought Global Warming was supposed to bring more rain to monsoonal area's and less rain to arid area's. Well I know you guys are monsoonal - but we aren't. I have never seen rain like this over a sustained period in Perth before. Is it usual for you guys at this time of the year? Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 And yet you've had a terrible drought in the that part of WA MB with dams at barely 25% capacity and a large region having the lowest ever rainfall on record. I think maybe you've just forgotten what it's nornmally like in Perth in winter as you've not had a 'normal' winter for quite sometime. About time you got some good rainfall I reckon!!!

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Quite likely GN. Of course there have been lengthy fine weeks previously, and in past years - I think this summer we cracked a record number of days without ANY rain at all. But this past couple of weeks has been quite extraordinary. Link to post Share on other sites
Saitaman 1 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Terrible to see those image. Niigata seems to have had way more than it's fair share of bullying from nature in recent years. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 Yes. A lot of damage left behind but the mad conditions have moved on. Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Had some floods in northern England the last few days I hear. Mad weather everywhere. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Those floods no where near the rioters? The resurrection of this thread has prompted me to ask: "how are all the rain and flood effected area's doing in J-Land now?" Link to post Share on other sites
tokabochi 9 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Still some mad rain at times. Last night and tonight by the sounds. But not like it was 10 days ago. Still some disruption. I heard part of the Joetsu line near J Kokusai has broken up and so the trains aren't moving. Muikabochi away now so he can't report. Link to post Share on other sites
mina2 6 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Weather has been very strange this summer. It's almost like rainy season keeps on making a comeback and had some real deep water the other day in these parts. Link to post Share on other sites
