Kazuo Sato shows the flood water level of his house as he cleans up Monday, Oct. 14, 2019, in Kawagoe City, Japan.

Typhoon Hagibis dropped record amounts of rain for a period in some spots, according to meteorological officials, causing more than 20 rivers to overflow. Some of the muddy waters in streets, fields and residential areas have subsided. But many places remained flooded, with homes and surrounding roads covered in mud and littered with broken wooden pieces and debris.

Crews were working across the region to dig through mudslides and search riverbanks for those missing in the storm, which killed almost 50 people and left thousands of homes on Japan's main island flooded, damaged or without power. Some 30,000 people were in evacuation centres “If I had known the water were to come this high, I could have evacuated them inside the house,” Kazuo Saito said.
