Heavy rains soak Hokuriku; one dead in Niigata
NIIGATA/TOTTORI –
A 61-year-old man died when his home on the Sea of Japan coast collapsed in a mudslide as heavy rain hit many parts of the nation Thursday.
According to police, Masatoshi Adachi’s home in Nagaoka, Niigata Prefecture, was knocked down by mud sliding off the mountain behind his residence as 104.5 mm of rain fell in a 24-hour period, a record for the area in August. Responding to a neighbor’s call for assistance, police pulled Adachi from the mud but he was later pronounced dead at a hospital.
In Tottori Prefecture, the rain-swollen Shiomi River flooded houses above the floorboards and some roads. The river rose 2.04 meters, exceeding the danger level at 6:40 a.m., prefectural officials said.
