In the News...

Disaster in Japan
On the 4th of September, two tornadoes hit Japan in three days. Tornadoes tore through eastern Japan, injuring dozens of people, at least one seriously, and destroying some buildings. Police in Saitama prefecture, near Tokyo, said 63 people were reported injured.

Kyodo News reported that the tornadoes toppled power lines, blew roofs off homes and sent debris flying, smashing windows at an elementary school. Shelters have been opened in the areas affected and authorities have activated emergency plans.
We hope that all the people in Japan who were injured or lost loved ones in the tornadoes have all the help and support that the need. We also hope that no more disasters happen in the upcoming months and hopefully years, so the people have time to fix all the damage.
