福岡・筑後地方で大雨！　道路冠水や休校相次ぐ　柳川の川下りは水位1m上昇

In Fukuoka Prefecture, where the rainy season has officially begun and rain continues to fall, heavy rain fell mainly in the Chikugo region this morning. In Omuta City, 110.5 mm of rain was recorded in 24 hours, causing temporary flooding of roads and the temporary closure of municipal elementary and junior high schools. At the boat landing for the river cruise, a popular tourist attraction in Yanagawa City, the water level rose by about 1 meter, submerging the pier, and boatmen were busy bailing out the rainwater that had accumulated in their boats. In Asakura City, which suffered significant damage in the heavy rains in northern Kyushu nine years ago, an evacuation order for the elderly and others was issued, and three evacuation centers were set up. Residents who evacuated expressed fear as they recalled the damage from the past. In Yukuhashi City, two landslides occurred, including one where a slope next to a private house collapsed, but according to Fukuoka Prefecture, no casualties have been confirmed in the prefecture so far.
