We have been in Okinawa for two weeks (our second time here) filling in for a fellow missionary on furlough. On May 30 a typhoon was coming up from the Philippines. On Friday, June 2 we woke to the aftermath of strong winds and rain sweeping through the Nago area (northern part of the island of Okinawa). The above is the canal across from the church at nearly flood stage.
This is across the street from the church just above the river. The shed was standing at the back of the church building. The padlocked door was busted open and the contents spilled out. Henry and I managed to take all the stuff out and righted the plastic shed and put things back in. It was an experience not to forget.
When I took out the trash at the back of the building from the street side, I saw the shed was blown over and around the corner of the building.
