Extreme Weather in Japan
In July 2018, Japan was hit by possibly their worst weather disaster in decades. Torrential rains happened which caused landslides in Western Japan and killed at least 176 people. Millions were forced to evacuate while dozens went missing in the country's worst weather disaster in 36 years. During this same scenario, in Tokyo, at least 48 people were stated to be missing due to the torrential rain. Japan's Meteorological Agency issued warnings across 4 prefectures in the island of Honshu. Due to the urging vigilance against landslides, rising rivers and strong winds this scenario was referred to a historic rain. Here are some pictures of the unfortunate Summer in Japan 2018: These past 2 years I have been telling people how much I want to travel to Japan before I die. It's the reason why I picked Japan as my country to research but after doing research on Japan, it sounds really depressing. It feels like Japan can't get a break and are hit by disasters 24/7.
