Okunoto’s Rain Anniversary: One Year of Wet & Empty Streets

On Sunday, the Noto Peninsula’s Okunoto region held a very soggy anniversary commemorating when torrential rains ruined the local vibe exactly one year ago. This deluge, which sounds like Mother Nature’s overenthusiastic waterpark event, didn’t just soak the streets; it accelerated the population ziplining away faster than free WiFi at a vegan coffee shop. Residents are apparently still ghosting their hometown like an ex at a memoir reading, because apparently 'too much rain' is the new 'too much commitment.' No mention of aid or recovery squads, just ongoing outflows as if the rains were an eviction notice endorsed by the clouds themselves.
