Four days of rain bring serious floods too rural and river towns in Japan. Over fifty persons are dead, eighty missing, and damage believed to be in the hundreds of millions. Flood water covers city streets. A man rides his bicycle through the water. Shopkeepers enter their establishment, and attempt to salvage goods. A worker removes can from standing water and places them on dry shelves. Clay tile roof homes are partially submerged in murky water.
