Heavy rain pounds Japan; 1 dead, 2 missing

Heavy rain pummeled western and southwestern Japan on Friday, leaving one person dead and at least two others missing in a mudslide, with the country's weather agency issuing warnings covering wide areas of the country.

Heavy rain caused the Gono River in the prefecture to overflow, but the local government said there were no immediate reports of casualties. A resident of one of the houses in his 60s was rescued but sustained serious injuries to his left leg. Record amounts of rain were observed in Unzen and Shimabara in the prefecture, with over 740 milliliters and 540 mm recorded, respectively, in the 48 hours through Friday morning, the weather agency said. In Amakusa, Kumamoto Prefecture, record downpours of 520 mm were also recorded in the same period.
