Floods Kill 26 in Japan

At least twenty-six people have lost their lives to floods and mudslides in southern Japan, and six more are missing.

Torrential rains have caused the flooding and mudslides, which have cut off thousands of Japanese.

Around a quarter of a million people had been ordered to evacuate, but many were being allowed to return home Sunday, as the rains stopped.

The Japanese Defense Forces have been using helicopters to fly in food and supplies, to cut off areas.

Western Japan also saw some flooding due to the rains, but it was limited and only damaged about one hundred homes.
