[SGI-ToMyFriends-Wagatomo] 12th Oct. 2019 To My Friends & Daily Gosho + 13th Oct. Daily Encouragement

 

* Tokyo is through the typhoon but with rivers still in flood and many areas are without electricity. All transportation and motorways have been stopped. As it landed in the dark we have to wait until the morning to see where the real damage might be. So far the number of casualties is low. And the typhoon is just about over further north as we send this. 

A translation of "To My Friends" published in the Seikyo Newspaper based on President Ikeda's recent guidance, and more.

-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Be very cautious of extremely strong typhoons 
and hurricanes!
By keeping up with the latest information,
let's avoid being overconfident 
or underestimating the danger of 
rivers flooding or landslides!
Let's take every possible measure 
to protect ourselves 
and at the earliest possible moment!
