Deadly Floods And Landslides Hit Japan's Ishikawa Prefecture After Devastating Earthquake

Record rains in central Japan's Noto region, still recovering from a major New Year's Day earthquake, killed at least one person on September 21, prompted evacuation orders for tens of thousands and caused blackouts for more than 6,000 households.
Footage from the area revealed the damage caused by record rainfall, with roads flooded and buildings surrounded by debris.
Six people, including four working on quake reconstruction, were missing, and calls for rescue were swamping the fire department, public broadcaster NHK reported on September 22.
Hourly rainfall hit record 121 mm (4.8 inches) on 21 September morning in Wajima, while neighboring Suzu received 84.5 mm in an hour, also an all-time high.
