Two people were reported dead and 11 others were unaccounted for in flooding that wrecked homes, roads and rice terraces in southern Japan, on Thursday, July 6. Troops were working to rescue families left stranded by the flooding.
Heavy rain warnings were in effect for much of the southern island of Kyushu after Typhoon Nanmadol swept across Japan earlier in the week.
Authorities in Fukuoka, on the southern island of Kyushu said four people suffered slight injuries. The national broadcaster NHK reported one man had died in neighboring Oita prefecture, but details were not immediately available.
The other man, a 93-year-old, was likely swept away by flooding, police said. His body was found Wednesday washed up in Asakita in Hiroshima prefecture, which is on the main island of Honshu.
One man managed a narrow escape when a landslide crushed his home on a steep mountain slope, NHK reported. Television footage showed rice fields and homes flooded after a river swollen by the rains overflowed its banks, dragging vehicles into the riverbed and destroying dozens of buildings as well as roads and bridges.
Japan’s Meteorological Agency said Fukuoka and Oita were experiencing unprecedented amounts of rain.
Tens of thousands of people were instructed to evacuate though only a fraction of those advised to leave actually did, according to the local disaster management agency’s website.
Thanks for your post. I would like to say that the health insurance brokerage also utilizes the benefit of the particular coordinators of your group insurance plan. The health agent is given a list of benefits searched for by individuals or a group coordinator. What any broker may is search for individuals as well as coordinators which in turn best fit those desires. Then he gifts his referrals and if all sides agree, the particular broker formulates a binding agreement between the two parties.
