Restoration work continues due to typhoon Izu Oshima Typhoon No. 19 Anxious voice October 8th 17:37
In Izu Oshima, Tokyo, which was greatly damaged by Typhoon No. 15 last month, restoration work continues on houses, but in the future there is a concern that the large typhoon No. 19 may approach, so residents are worried It is going up.
In Oshima-cho, Izu-Oshima, damage to houses due to Typhoon No. 15 last month has so far totaled 786 buildings, including 5 completely destroyed, 80 partially destroyed, and 701 partially damaged.
Of these, the outer wall of the two-story building collapsed almost entirely in the residence that also served as the store of Motoki Takada (81), who operates a futon store in Motomachi, Oshimamachi. Due to rain entering the second floor used to make futons, the store is not currently open.
We are continuing the recovery work to reopen the store, but in the future, I feel uneasy about the large typhoon No. 19 that may approach.
Mr. Takada said, “It may take about a month before the construction is completed. I am trying to reopen the store, but I am worried that it will be damaged by the typhoon again.”
In addition, in a house in Oshima-cho Sashiki, the roof tiles of the building were damaged, and more than 100 cedar trees on the site were defeated.
Yuichi Saito (64), who manages this house, said, “Typhoons have been heretofore, but this is the first damage so far. There are no craftsmen on the island to repair the roof of the tiles. But the cedar tree fell down the roots, and we can't do anything. "
On top of that, he said, “There are so many beside the house, so if the next typhoon comes and heavy rain falls, we will be worried about the secondary damage caused by the cedar trees that have fallen.
