Northeastern Japan hit by raging wildfires: one dead and dozens of damaged buildings

1. It’s the first time I hear of wildfire in Japan… is this normal? Is it a sign of things to come?

2. Crazy that in less than a week, the north side of Japan can get meters of snowfall and in another part of the north there’s a devastating wildfire.

3. I don’t know about northern Japan but Kanagawa has been incredibly dry this winter. Almost no rainfall. So I’m gonna guess this can be extrapolated somewhat to other regions in eastern Honshu

4. It’s rained maybe 4 times in the last 4 months, and only lightly. Crazy dry. Nice weather for going outside, but shit for my garden and water bill.
