[quote:Anonymous Coward 61993783:MV8yNjI0MDYxXzQ1OTY3NzE3XzU4NzhDREEw] [b]NATIONAL Hiroshima search delayed by heavy rain[/b] [color=darkred]HIROSHIMA – Heavy rain on Friday hampered the search for 52 people believed buried alive on the edge of Hiroshima as opposition politicians hounded Prime Minister Shinzo Abe for golfing and relaxing while responding to the disaster. Rescuers feared the continuing rain could set off further mudslides in the area after a month’s worth of rain fell overnight Wednesday, loosening slopes already saturated by heavy rain over the past few weeks. The death toll stood at 39 as of Friday evening. ..... During is first meeting, Furuya expressed concern that the rescue operations may take a long time. Noting that about 1,700 evacuees may be forced to remain outside their homes for a prolonged time, he urged that efforts be directed to restore residents’ lifelines as soon as possible and provide care for the evacuees in terms of their mental and physical health. Rescue activities were temporarily halted due to rain that started falling late Thursday. The local meteorological office issued a heavy rain warning at 5 a.m. Friday and warned of more mudslides.

In another Prefecture more than 150.000 People are prepared for Evacuation because of the Heavy Rains, Japan is very, very hot in Summer but now the first Cold Fronts arrived which start big Rain when they meet each other!
