Tokyo – The torrential rain in Japan probably killed more people. Eight people were rescued from a landslide in Nagano Prefecture, local media reported on Sunday.
Three of them, including two children, had been diagnosed with "cardiac arrest and respiratory arrest". This is a common phrase in Japan before human deaths are officially confirmed. A woman had previously died in a landslide on the hard-hit southwestern main island of Kyushu. In the Tokyo area, tens of thousands of households were called on Sunday to get to safety from the masses of water. Around 100,000 people were affected in Tokyo's neighboring province of Kanagawa. dpa
