Since May over a dozen reports about the horrendous menacing of rains in China have been surfacing on news channels detailing floods that took most of the country’s mainland to savage in a short time span of only 1 week.
Chinese nationals had to put up with all the traumatic experiences one can think of such vacating drenched residential houses and meeting up with mudslides on the escape way from the flooded villages.
Roads and buildings in towns were destroyed from the heavy flow of waters that poured like the national dam that bust due to high pressures resulting from the flooding rains.
And from a recent battering that took place in the Japanese peninsula, it turns not only the Chinese will tell of the horrific and factual tales but the Japanese as well who are in the wake of a powerful typhoon, floods and storms.
Torrential heavy rains and storms have been pondering japan from early last week with floods reportedly “battering large areas of Japan's main island, swelling more rivers, triggering mudslides and destroying houses and roads” according to the Associated Press.
First witnessed in the south the floods thrashed the Asian island as they were moving northeast on Wednesday leaving not any chance of human survival on its route as “at least 58 people died in several days of flooding” according to the AP.
Early Wednesday, the death toll resulting from the flooding rains was reported to have risen to 58 with most victims from the Kumamoto prefecture which was also reported to be the worst hit by the rains.
However there are four other reports of deceased victims in Fukuoka, which is said to be another prefecture on Kyushu.
DESTRUCTION
In the course of the deadly rains videos however surfaced on the internet revealing drastic conditions residents were left in.
As in line with the Associated Press, “public broadcaster NHK showed a swollen river gouging into its embankment and destroying a highway.” It appears in the video which was taken in the Japanese city ‘Gero’, “the rising river was flowing just below a bridge.”
In another video cars abandoned by people as the floods started were looking to have been displaced by the heavy waters as they are now sported in awkward place like hanging on the edges of a small residential wall.
In the flooded Fukuoka Prefecture, residents found themselves enclosed by large waters of floods and soldiers were on toes to rescue through the use of boats to sail through the flood waters as revealed in a video provided by Global News.
Touring boats which come useful and busy in good tourist seasons was shown flipped with its bottom facing upwards looking to be sinking in a swelling water reservoir.
In town and cities residents look to be struggling to cross flooded roads with children on toe and as vehicles along splashed grappling the waters perhaps with intentions of moving to safety.
In another surfacing video a mudslides appeared to have blocked a main road connecting Kamikochi and Matsumoto areas known for tourist attraction.
But however the report stated no fatality in the areas and was “safely evacuated.”
This is yet another pounding by natural disaster in the Asian Island. In last year 2019 it sustained a heavy blow from the Hagibis Typhoon that almost sent the country to completely nothing. Early this year the country was one of the first countries to be hit by the deadly Corona Pandemic which has held tight the world on its grip.
