Turbulent flow with humming sound at home ... Rescue with a helicopter immediately after shooting Nagano October 16th 19:51
Yoshinori Yoshimura (64), who was left at home near the broken bank of the Chikuma River and rescued by a helicopter, was shooting the water overflowing from the bank into the room.
Mr. Yoshimura lives with his 86-year-old mother, wife and son at home in Hobo, Nagano, about 200 meters west of the broken embankment.
On the evening of this month, the water level of the Chikuma River was rising due to the heavy rain of Typhoon No.19, but Mr. Yoshimura decided that the embankment would not break and decided to stay on the second floor of his home.
After that, water started to reach the surroundings of the house, and the water level gradually increased, but the water level began to rise suddenly around 3 am on the 13th.
Until then, there was almost no water in the house, but suddenly there was a sound of glass breaking, and a lot of water was flowing into the room.
In the video taken by Mr. Yoshimura around 6:30 am on the 13th on the first floor of his home with a smartphone, the brown and muddy water reaches a height of about 50 feet per meter and flows into the room vigorously with the sound of noise. You can see that
Mr. Yoshimura made a request for rescue to the fire department at around 6:00 am, and after about an hour, he was rescued by a helicopter from the roof of his house with his family.
The photo taken from the second floor of the house just before Mr. Yoshimura was rescued shows that one of the houses is covered with brown and muddy water, and the first floor is in use.
In addition, there are residents in other houses waiting for rescue, so you can see a helicopter that seems to be rescued in the sky.
Mr. Yoshimura said, “In front of the house, it became like a river and I couldn't escape. I didn't think the levee would break, so I thought I would be in this situation. I didn't. "
