In the Hokuriku region, which had just suffered damage from heavy rains in Ishikawa and Toyama prefectures, a Level 5 heavy rain special warning has been issued again. In Fukui Prefecture, 17 rivers overflowed their banks. In the towns where the water has receded, residents were busy cleaning up from early morning. Fukui Prefecture was hit by record-breaking heavy rains over the weekend. The next day, they were subjected to intense heat. Resident: "I don't know what to do now, but for now I want to focus on cleaning up." "I wonder...when will this ever be finished." Residents were engrossed in the task before them, with no end in sight. Tomohiro Kiire, newscaster: "This is a dry cleaning shop. They are still busy cleaning up under the blazing sun. Equipment from inside is drying outside, and it seems like everyone is working together to clean up." Apparently, freshly laundered clothes were lined up inside the shop when it was flooded. Hiroyuki Inoue, General Affairs Manager, Kurokawa Cleaning Co. "Muddy water got into the floor deep inside. Some of the items entrusted to us by our customers got a little dirty. We spent the morning today taking them back to the factory, cleaning them again, and preparing to return them." Reporter "Several trucks are there, and the tires of the cars behind them are completely hidden." In Fukui Prefecture, a Level 5 Heavy Rain Special Warning was issued for Fukui City, Ono City, and Katsuyama City at 4:30 AM on the 30th. It was lifted before noon, but the amount of rain that fell in 24 hours was the highest ever recorded in Katsuyama City and Miyama, Fukui City. Seven rivers overflowed. The landscape of the towns was completely transformed. In Sakai City, the urban area was extensively submerged. Roads were flooded to the point where car tires were no longer visible, and the water reached up to the thighs of residents. On the 31st, in the town after the floodwaters receded… Tomohiro Kiire, newscaster: "Sandbags remain around here. Did people climb over these… and enter the houses?" "The hospital is probably using snow-melting sprinklers. They're using snow-melting pipes to clear the mud." Previously, this house housed a restaurant… Ryoji Yamada: "(Q. Was the kitchen also flooded?) Of course." The first floor, which was the kitchen, was submerged. Footage recorded from the second floor in front of his house showed cars cautiously driving along the flooded road. Ryoji Yamada: "I was alone, saying it was just like a river. I couldn't sleep a wink, I was awake. The water level was rising so fast." This shrine was also damaged. Kunigami Shrine, Chief Priest Muso Motoyuki "The water came over this (fence). That's why muddy water accumulated here, and after it receded, mud remained." Photographs and videos from that time show the water approaching the shrine. Chief Priest Muso Motoyuki "Almost everything that was on the floor was ruined, and now it's drying outside. The drums are wet at the bottom." The shrine was preparing for an important festival for the community this October. Chief Priest Muso Motoyuki "Everyone, young and old, is looking forward to the festival. We have to prepare now so that we can hold the festival as usual." We met a woman drying picture frames in the sun. "These are frames for sale. I was spreading them out to dry before throwing them away." A photo shop run by a parent and child for over 50 years. The first floor was flooded by the recent rains, and a printer that had been in use for about 20 years was damaged. Masanori Yoshikawa: "It was indispensable, but it's been submerged up to this point." "This printer had a unique vibrancy and transparency that only it could produce, and I regret losing that." Masayuki Yoshikawa: "This shop has been loved by the local community for so long, so I hope to clean it up again and make it a place where people can feel safe and create happy memories." Ishikawa Prefecture is also still feeling the effects of last week's (27th) record-breaking heavy rain. In Hakui City, rice paddies and other areas are still flooded over a wide area, and the prefecture and other organizations are working on drainage. According to the prefecture, there is no prospect of the drainage being completed. Reporter: "This is the road leading to the Tokonabe settlement, but as you can see, the road has completely collapsed and is impassable." In Himi City, Toyama Prefecture, 22 households and 31 people remain isolated due to landslides and road collapses. A village resident said, "There's nothing we can do. We're getting food from the city, but we still need other things." The prefecture is proceeding with the removal of the mud and debris using heavy machinery. ▼TBS NEWS DIG Official Website: https://newsdig.tbs.co.jp/ ▼Subscribe to our channel [Easier access to the latest news]    / @tbsnewsdig   ▼NEWS DIG Latest News [Important information close at ha...
