Hurry to clean up before the rain
In Nagano Prefecture, heavy rains are expected over the 19th, and in the Hoho area of Nagano City, where the Chikuma River embankment broke down, residents are working to clean up their houses before it begins to rain.
Residents used scoops to carry away the earth and sand that had flowed into their homes and cleaned up household items that had been submerged in water.
In addition, the district roads still have water, and tatami mats carried out of the house were laid to make it easier for people and cars to pass.
A 73-year-old man whose home was affected said, “I finally started carrying mud, but if it rains, mud becomes muddy and I can't move on.”
In addition, a 65-year-old man said, “I carried a lot of mud out of my house, but it still remains. It was.
