Rescuers in Japan continue to look for those missing from a typhoon that left as many as 48 people dead and caused serious damage in central and northern Japan.
Typhoon-damaged cars sit on the street covered with mud Monday, Oct. 14, 2019, in Hoyasu, Japan. Rescue crews in Japan dug through mudslides and searched near swollen rivers Monday as they looked for those missing from typhoon Hagibis that left as many as 36 dead and caused serious damage in central and northern Japan.
The riverside town of Hoyasu in hard-hit Nagano prefecture, northwest of Tokyo, was covered with mud, its apple orchards completely flooded and homes still without electricity. Experts said it would take time to accurately assess the extent of damage, and the casualty count has been growing daily. Some who lined up for morning soup at evacuation shelters, which are housing 30,000 people, expressed concern about the homes they had left behind. Survivors and rescuers will also face colder weather, with northern Japan turning chilly this week.
“Our response must be rapid and appropriate,” Abe said, stressing that many people remained missing and damage was extensive.In Hoyasu, a few vehicles in used car lots were flipped over by the waters that had gushed in, covering everything with mud. Apples swept from the flooded orchards lay scattered in the mud.In such areas, rescue crew paddled in boats to reach half-submerged homes, calling out to anyone left stranded.
Mimori Domoto, who works at Nagano craft beer-maker Yoho Brewing Co., said all 40 employees at her company were confirmed safe, though deliveries were halted.
