The water level rises in the downstream of the Tone River.
Due to the impact of Typhoon No. 19, the water level upstream of the Tone River has risen sharply, so the water level of the Tone River has also risen in Choshi City, Chiba Prefecture, which is the most downstream. In nearby houses, tributary water does not flow into the Tone River, but flows back into water, causing damage.
Due to the sudden rise of the upstream water level due to the heavy rain of Typhoon No.19, the water level rose at the Tone River in Choshi City, Chiba Prefecture, which was the most downstream, and reached the danger level of flooding temporarily.
According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the water level is gradually decreasing. However, in houses in the basin, water from the tributaries cannot flow into the Tone River, causing back-flowing damage.
Among these, in Matsugishi-cho in the city, people living nearby were able to scoop out the water that entered the house and clean it.
A man in his 70s who had been inundated before had raised his home three years ago, but this time the floor was again flooded.
The man said, “It ’s the first time so bad.”
In addition, a man in his 60s who said that water had entered the entrance said, “I evacuated without water last night. I went back to my house today and I felt like giving up.” .
