台風の雨で暴れた千曲川 Typhoon-ravaged Chikuma River

袈裟は青空でおきましたが、昨日の台風は凄かったです。千曲川が暴れて、土手と土手の間の全部が川水となりました。しかし、土手のお蔭でこの戸倉上山田温泉はほぼ無事でした。

川の暴れは私が長野に引っ越してからの8年間の間の3回目です。つい最近にこの同じ川にイカダ下りをやりました。

自然の力はすごいですね!

皆様は台風がいかがでしたか?

Here at our onsen town Togura-Kamiyamada, we woke up to a deep blue sky. It's hard to imagine that just yesterday we were inundated with rain from the passing typhoon. The rainfall made the Chikuma River swell to cover everything from levee to levee. But thanks to those levees, our onsen town escaped any big damage.

In the 8 years since I've moved here to Nagano, this is the 3rd time to see the river come up this high. And to think just last month we had a leisurely rafting event on the river!

I hope everyone is staying safe!



Someone didn't get their car moved in time!
