Another big typhoon (No.19) is approaching Japan. I don’t remember how many typhoons have hit Japan so far this year because there have been too many. But I remember that the last one (No.15) was powerful enough to leave hundreds of thousands of homes without electricity for a long time, especially in Chiba Prefecture. There are still some homes without electricity in Chiba even now, and many homes are waiting to be repaired. Japan is a country with many natural disasters, isn’t it? I hope that typhoon No.19 will go away soon! (by a reader)

Notes
New Hampshire アメリカのニューハンプシャー州;

——————————-
Whenever the news comes on TV here in New Hampshire, the first thing that they talk about is the weather. Then, after 10-15 minutes of other news, they go back to the weather. Why are people so concerned about the weather? Because it changes so quickly. When I got up yesterday morning, it was partly cloudy. By 9 a.m., it was sunny, so I walked into town from my sister’s house. I came back quickly because I could see big, black clouds coming. It rained a little around lunch, and then it stopped. In the afternoon, we had a thunderstorm. I stayed inside. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
