投稿の詳細: 台風の日　A day of typhoon

今朝は叩きつけるような雨音と
立木を倒すかと思われるほどの
風の音に起こされる…はずだったの
だが、存外静かな朝であった。
雲が垂れ込めて薄暗く、雨はそれなりに
降っているのだが風は全くといっていいほど
無い。午前中に長野県を横切って
近くを通ったはずなのだが。お昼くらいに薄日が
さすほどの明るさになったのが
台風の目だったのか。

もういいだろうと午後3時近く、
用事を足す為に外出する頃になって
再び雨脚が強まり、横殴りの風が吹いて
来た。直に止むだろうと考えたが
その後5時過ぎまで結構吹いていた。
峰の原は雲の中で、まるで台風の中に
いるような風であった。

各地から葡萄は大丈夫かとメールや
電話を頂きました。ありがとうございます。
強風が吹いてからは畑を見てないので
なんともいえませんが、あの調子だと
棚は壊れる事もなく、葡萄も
無事だと思われます。明日見回って
見ます。

Because of the trenching rain and
the violently blowing wind, I was
supposed to be waken up. However,
despite of the sound of heavy rain,
it was rather a quieter morning ...
than expected.

It was cloudy and dark morning
with the rain but almost no wind
at all. The typhoon should have
passed through Nagano prefecture
over around here.
It should have been the eye
of the typhoon when it got brighter
at around noon time.

I went out at around 3pm thinking
the typhoon had been far away by that
time but it suddenly started raining
much heavily and the strong wind
started blowing. I thought it would
stop soon but it finally continued
until around 5pm. In Minenohara highland,
I was in the thick cloud with strong wind
which reminded me of the Night Flight.

I received e-mail messages and calls from
my friends asking about the grape. Thank you
for your worrying me and the grapes, they
should be all OK at least no problem in the
morning. I will check the damage to
the vineyards tomorrow which might have
occurred in the afternoon wind.
