2 Killed After Torrential Rain Swamps Northern Kyushu

Two people died and another person was missing in Fukuoka and Oita prefectures on July 6,2017,Japan, amid torrential rain that has triggered landslides, flooded rivers and forced mass evacuations in Kyushu. About 20 others, many of them in Fukuoka Prefecture, could not be contacted to confirm their safety, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said. The record-setting rainfall has pummeled the northern part of Kyushu since July 5 and is expected to continue until July 7. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) issued special warnings for torrential rain in Fukuoka and Oita prefectures. Although the JMA downgraded the warnings later on July 6, it is still urging residents to take precautions against landslides and flooding.
