Heavy Rainfall Causes Destruction Across Japan, One Dead and Three Missing

At least one person died and dozens were injured after heavy rains caused by former Typhoon Mawar triggered flooding and landslides in Japan.
Evacuation orders were issued for over a million people as several rivers overflowed their banks and low-lying areas were at risk of flooding.
Parts of western and central Japan experienced power outages, suspended train service, and were on high alert for additional landslides and flooding.
Climate change is increasing the likelihood and severity of dangerous rainfall in Japan and other parts of the world.
In 2018, similar rainstorms caused floods and mudslides that killed more than 200 people during Japan's rainy season.
