Tokyo Flood Crisis After Record Rain | Cork News

Torrential rains slammed east of Tokyo, turning streets into rivers, swallowing homes, stranding thousands—including at Narita Airport—and cutting power across the region. With nearly 4.5 inches falling in an hour, Japan’s worst flooding in years left four dead and one missing, as emergency crews battled rising waters in cities like Ichikawa and Sakura. Over 230,000 residents were urged to evacuate, and while some services have resumed with delays, flights are back on track as people head home after the Bon holiday. Forecasters warn more rain is coming—recovery efforts are just beginning. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
