Matsue, Japan: Although Typhoon Halong has recently been downgraded to a tropical storm, it is still a cause for major concern in Japan. Pastor Junichi Nakade (former APNTS Student) was contacted by WMC-AP and provides the following report.
I live in Matsue (check the map yellow square – top center).
Now, our area has a strong wind but no rain.
The weather forecast said that the typhoon will hit our area tomorrow [Sunday 08/10] early morning .Tsu
I just watched the news and it indicates that especially South-Kyusyu, Kochi and Tsu have very heavy rain now.
MIe prefecture (right blue circle) gave an evacuation advisory to five hundred fifty thousand people.
And most of prefectures gave a storm warning.I guess that this typhoon will bring more damage to many places at midnight to tomorrow morning.
Please commit to pray for our Nazarene families and non-Nazarenes alike, on the Islands of Japan over the next several hours and days.
