The heavy rain caused the river flooding that damaged Joso-city, Ibaraki prefecture.
More than 1,000 houses got damaged or flooded. Then, Japan Self-defense forces, fire fighters, police, and the rescue groups were looking for the missing people.
This reminded me the tsunami that was caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 in my hometown, Miyako, especially when I saw those pictures of flooded city appeared on my SNS timelines from my friends there.
Because my hometown, Miyako, Iwate had many help not only from other prefectures in Japan, but also from all over the world, I feel this time is my turn to give the people in Joso, Ibaraki some support.
So, I believe this is one of what I could do: writing the English blog article for the English readers who are willing to give them some support.
