“The city is completely destroyed, we need people’s help!”-Shinichi Ishizuka
Levees on 14 rivers have failed, 64 rivers are overflowing, warnings of more flooding as weather forecasts predict more tropical rain.
NHK (Nippon Housou Kyoukai/Japan Broadcasting Corporation) reporting that some people in Joso and Osaki cities were notified two hours after levees broke, some people were never notified! City administrators admitted their disaster command centers were overwhelmed and they might have forgotten to warn some residents. It’s interesting that those residents just happen to be living right next to the breaks that formed in the levees.
Administrators in Joso revealed that their information about flooding was actually coming from areas of the city that were already flooding, in other words they had no warnings before hand.
Administrators in Osaki revealed idiocy on their part when they admitted they held back on evacuation orders because they felt it was too dangerous to evacuate a city at night time!
At least seven people killed, at least 15 missing. Reports say there are many people still stranded by the floods.
Concerning the massive flooding from the Kinugawa River near Joso, the mayor of neighboring Bando city blames the flooding on a solar power construction project. Mayor Eiichi Yoshihara revealed that last year a two meters high, 150 meters long section of dirt was removed from a section of the levee, as part of the construction project. City administrators said that section of the levee actually built-up naturally over time and is considered private property, so they have no authority over it. Still, some sandbags were placed in the area in July of 2014.
Local news reports revealed that Joso residents assumed the naturally built-up section of levee was part of the city’s flood control authority.
At the ongoing nuclear disaster reactors of Fukushima Daiichi, giant bags filled with nuclear waste were washed away. 82 giant nuke waste bags were found, 32 recovered, but administrators with Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCo) admit the do not know how many were floated away by the flood.
Record rain pounds Japan! Study says climate change can’t be stopped by humans!
