The photo shows today's staple food, cookies.

Typhoon No. 7 hit the Kinki region today. I was restless because I prepare for typhoons two days before they are expected to hit.

The day before, I walked a little and bought daily necessities at a large supermarket and Daiso. The day before, I went to a nearby supermarket and stocked up on food and drinking water.

The day before was quiet with only occasional rain, but I was anxious to get up at 3:00 a.m. There were intermittent storms and heavy rain.

Then, as night fell, news came that a typhoon had made landfall on the Kii Peninsula, and the storms became stronger. Since this typhoon was moving slowly and the rain and wind were expected to be strong all day today, I decided not to leave the house today. I decided not to leave the house today because it would be dangerous if something flew over and hit me and I got hurt.

I ate cookies for breakfast, drank coffee, and painted a picture because it was hard to sit still. While I was painting, I calmed down a little, but when I took a break in the middle of the day, the storm was getting stronger and stronger. I still did my best to finish the painting. I was glad that I could not paint yesterday.

After I painted the picture, the rainstorm became even stronger. However, I did not have the energy to paint two or three pictures. At any rate, I got typhoon information on my phone and radio, but it was getting kind of depressing.

I alternately looked at the Kyoto City Disaster Prevention Portal Site and the Kyoto Prefecture River Disaster Prevention Information. The river disaster prevention information is especially useful because it shows river water levels and is updated frequently. This is because my house is relatively close to a river, and if that river is about to flood, I have to evacuate.

While I was doing so, the door of my house was rattling, the storm was gurgling outside, and I couldn't stop being terrified.

Then I looked at Yahoo News and found that not only department stores but also supermarkets were temporarily closed in the Kansai region today, and some convenience stores were also closed or operating on a shortened schedule.

At noon, I had another light meal. I ate a cookie and a can of tuna fish. I was disappointed that the can of tuna was too small, but I decided to eat only one can.

After lunch, the storm continued as usual. I listened to music to keep myself warm, but after listening to it for an hour, it became hard to bear. It is not good for one's mental health to stay home alone and listen to the eerie sound of wind and rain at a time like this.

The typhoon is expected to continue until late tonight, so we have to watch out for storms. I don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight, but I'm sure it will subside tomorrow, so I'll hold out a little longer.

写真は今日の主食のビスケットです。

今日は台風7号が近畿地方を直撃しました。私は台風が来ると予想される前々日から台風の備えをするので落ち着かなかったです。

前々日は少し歩いて大きなスーパーとダイソーで日用品などを買いました。そして前日に近くのスーパーで食糧や飲料水などを買い込みました。

前日は時折雨が降る程度で静かでしたが、気になって朝3時に起きてしまうと、断続的に暴風や大雨がありました。

そして夜が明けると、台風が紀伊半島に上陸したとのニュースが入り、暴風雨が強くなりました。この台風は進むのが遅く、今日一日雨風が強いとのことなので、今日は家から出ないことに決めました。暴風で何かが飛んできて当たって怪我したら危ないからです。

朝ご飯にビスケットを食べてコーヒーを飲み、じっとしているのもつらいので絵を描きました。絵を描いているうちは少し落ち着きましたが、途中で休憩するとますます暴風雨が強まっていました。それでも頑張って描き上げました。昨日絵が描けなかったのでよかったです。

絵を描いたらさらに暴風雨が強くなりました。しかし2枚も3枚も絵を描く気力がありません。とりあえずスマホやラジオで台風情報を入手しましたが、なんだか憂鬱になってきました。

京都市防災ポータルサイトと京都府河川防災情報を交互に見ていました。特に河川防災情報は川の水位がわかり、更新も頻繁なので役立ちます。自宅は割と川に近いので、その川が氾濫しそうになったら避難しないといけないからです。

そうしている間にも家のドアがガタガタと音を立て、外は暴風でゴウゴウと音が鳴り、恐怖が止まりませんでした。

それでヤフーニュースを見ていたら、今日は関西では百貨店はもちろんのこと、スーパーマーケットも臨時休業、コンビニも一部休業か時短営業となっていたので、やっぱり昨日食糧や飲料水を買ってよかったと思いました。

お昼になってまた軽い食事をとりました。ビスケットと缶入りのツナ水煮です。ツナ缶が小さ過ぎてがっかりしましたが、1缶だけにしました。
