ニューヨークタイムズが衝撃的な写真とともに台風19号の被害を伝えています。
今回の台風は、日本に上陸する前から世界のメディアがすごく大きくて危険な台風と伝えていて、日本のニュースと比べると大げさに感じるくらいでしたが、実際は「まずまず」どころか大変な被害です。
Typhoon Hagibis in Photos
As of Monday, dozens of people had been killed, more were missing and hundreds of thousands had been forced to abandon their homes after Japan was lashed by Typhoon Hagibis, the most powerful storm to strike the country in decades.
Rescue services jumped into action, using helicopters to pluck stranded people from balconies and roofs, and inflatable boats to access residential streets turned into raging rivers.
More than 100 rivers had flooded, the public broadcaster NHK reported, after record-breaking rains. In Nagano prefecture, northwest of Tokyo, a levee burst on the Chikuma river, flooding a wide area of Nagano city.
Another four levees across the flood zone had also collapsed, according to NHK.
