1 dead, 6 missing as heavy rain pounds quake-hit Noto area

How sad

Why is it taking so long to clean up the area?

Heaps of rubble, I do believe Japan has a great deal of long history dealing with this situation.

Where are people moving to, as this area seems quite unsafe to live in.

Very stressful for the residents. The area is still experiencing earthquakes.

The heavy rain is a result of the global warming.

Tokyo will get a tropical storm about Thursday,these poor people in Naha,this is their fifth tropical storm this year

Oh no, they are having an awful time. There’s been some very queer weather as of late, too bleeding hot and massive storms.

very sad, get used to unprecedented, thanks previous governments for doing nothing

Sad looking at video of temporary box style housing surrounded by swirling floodwaters and connecting roads awash and houses flooded and destroyed.

Since the devastating earthquakes of 9 months ago, how come the govt is still dragging it's feet and now the citizens have this to deal with.

Hoping the pathetic daily preaching by LDP candidates over who is the better boss ends right now and they focus on short & long term recovery plans for the welfare of Noto folks.

This govt is swimming in money but who decides the priority of spending.

Bet if Kanto was hit the same you'd have seen a different reaction.

Yet another record "since records began" weather related story. World-wide they are becoming almost daily in frequency.

Extreme weather is becoming the norm.

Is Kishida in Noto leading the disaster relief efforts?

No, Kishida is in America. Kishida is smiling with Biden and praising the US-Japan Security Treaty.

Kishida is not protecting Japan.

"1 dead, 6 missing as heavy rain pounds quake-hit Noto area."

How rough can it get? The earthquake recovery not fully done. And now floodings. Which begs the question is this place really stable for rebuilding back people's lives?

There was extensive flooding last year.

terrible experience for the locals, previous govs not really to blame, such natural calamities are occurring around the globe,. Q. if certain govs can approve taxpayers monies to relocate displaced persons from UKR to the respective nations that they are responsible for (ok maybe as cheap labour?) why can they not relocate their own citizens if requested? E.Q+Flooding last year surely high level advice..to relocate. Or is it same as uk, NiMBY?

Present LDP Kishida regime's negligence and indifference to citizen have still delayed recovery of even minimum life infrastructures markedly at Northern Noto peninsula despite over 8 months passed from quake hit, Besides, heavy rain or flood hit damaged area this time, damage will be expanded.

But, PM already left from Japan to enjoy overseas travel, other ministers are crazy for politics game the LDP leader election.
