In Kashiwa City, Chiba Prefecture, heavy rains flooded houses and other facilities on the 23rd, so residents and others were busy cleaning up on the 24th.

In the Kanto region, the atmospheric conditions became unstable and rain clouds developed locally on the 23rd, and in Kashiwa City, Chiba Prefecture, the rainfall gauge installed by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism was 40 mm per hour by 11:00 am. I observed rain.

Due to the heavy rain, 16 houses were flooded on the floor and 11 houses were flooded on the floors of houses and restaurants in Akihara and Asahicho near JR Kashiwa Station, and residents and others were busy cleaning them up on the 24th.

Among them, a man in his 50s who said that his home was flooded on the floor was that the first floor was soaked up to the height below his knees, so he took out wet household items and dried them, or accumulated them inside the house. I was scraping out the mud with a brush.

The man said, "The fridge is wet and can no longer be used. The work of scraping mud is difficult."

In Kashiwa City, it was thought that there was an "inland water flood" in which water was overflowing in the city area due to the fact that heavy rain fell in a short time and the river was not drained in time, and continued to confirm damage and collect disaster waste. And so on.

It seems that inundation progressed in a short time

The security camera installed in the condominium in Akihara, Kashiwa City, Chiba Prefecture, which had been damaged by the flood, recorded that the flood had progressed in a short time.

From the image of the security camera, it can be seen that the road is flooded due to rainy feet getting stronger after 10 am on the 23rd.

In the next 30 minutes, the puddle had risen to a height where all the car's tires could be hidden, and empty cans and tree branches were swept along the river-like road.

According to the man in his 70s who is the owner of this condominium, the room on the first floor was flooded on the floor, ``When I came to see the state of the condominium, the water had already been drawn I was surprised when I saw the image of the security camera for the first time. It is a tough task because I have to proceed with the work of relining the floor etc.”
