(ANSA) - TOKYO, JULY 14 - The bad weather in Japan continues to rage, with torrential rains that have been raging the Kyushu region, southwest of the archipelago, for days, extending even further north. The current toll from the beginning of the violent precipitations, one week ago, is 72 dead and a dozen missing.
    In the prefecture of Shimane, on the northern slope of Chugoku, the authorities have advised at least 10,000 people to abandon their homes due to the danger of landslides after the flooding of the Gono river in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Due to the low pressure front present in the entire area, south of the region where Hiroshima is located, a quantity equal to two times the expected rainfall for the entire month of July has already poured, equivalent to 200 mm of rain in the last 48 hours .
    The Japanese Ministry of Agriculture estimates damages of over 150 million euros to the territory in 35 different prefectures of the country. (HANDLE).
