I use "Yahoo Japan" or "Yahoo U.S.A." for my search engine.

I believe the greatest emperor was Emperor Hirohito.

However, for most Japanese people Emperor Hirohito is commonly called

Emperor Showa.

"Showa" is also the name of the era.

For example, there are also the Meiji and Taishou Eras, too.

 

Thanks for explanation, Waka. The current Emperor has named his reign

"Peace." What is the name in Japanese? What does "Showa" mean?

I'm sorry you could not get to the websites, Waka. How many times did

you try to get to them?

 

Rainy days do make our spirits low. This year has given us much strange

weather. Part of Pennsylvania near here had a tornado. That is very

rare here.

 

This website tells about tornadoes:

If you click on "Photo Gallery," you can see several pictures of

tornadoes. The photo gallery loads very slowly, however. It has very

many graphic images. The tornado pictured as the background of the main

page is scary enough for me!

 

This page shows how tornadoes start:

The intensity of a tornado is measured by a "Fujita scale." This page

tells about the Fujita scale. It should load relatively fast, because

it is mostly text. The Pennsylvania tornado was probably an F2.
