BendiNewsTest: Devastating floods sweep through Japan as residents struggle to evacuate

Hi,

This page is currently being developed. This page checks Sustainability Blogs and RSS News Feeds for new content and posts it to here each day. The aim is to share information related to sustainability which is relevant to people living in Central Victoria while also providing a channel for international sustainability information. I am just discovering the Internets information sharing potential. I'd like to help other not so tech savvy people learn how to find interesting and new Sustainability info. Please tell me your favorite blogs or news sources and I will add them to the list.

Thanks

Heavy rains stemming from Typhoon Etau have dumped more than two feet of rain over some areas of Japan since Monday this week, causing extreme flooding. Floodwaters are currently plaguing Tokyo and stretching north to Ibaraki and Tochigi prefectures, where the danger is highest. Emergency officials report that 170,000 people have been evacuated in Tochigi Prefecture, where floodwaters consumed entire homes within minutes.
