記録的豪雨、新潟市内で道路冠水と立ち往生続発－引き続き土砂災害に警戒【新潟】スーパーJにいがた7月25日OA

On the morning of the 25th, thunderstorms hit mainly the Shimogoshi area, causing flooding, inundation, and stranded vehicles in various locations. Unstable atmospheric conditions are expected to continue, and caution and vigilance against landslides and other disasters are necessary through the 26th. Around 7:00 AM in Chuo Ward, Niigata City, a severe thunderstorm caused haze. The city was flooded in no time. Near Bandai City, rainwater was gushing out like a fountain, seemingly unable to be drained. The hourly rainfall recorded in Chuo Ward, Niigata City, was 47mm shortly after 7:00 AM. Hyoko Lake in Agano City recorded a record high of 42mm. ■Announcer Yuki Oishi "Due to the rain, the road right next to Ryuto Ohashi Bridge is flooded, and water is rushing onto the sidewalk every time a car passes. We can see vehicles stranded in the road due to the flooding." Roads were flooded and vehicles were stranded in various parts of Niigata City. Police officers are blocking the road with cones, but... ■Employee of a nearby logistics company "(Q. Is it prone to flooding?) It happened two or three years ago too. It was about this level of flooding then as well. I hope they can do something about it... Trucks can't get through, so they're moving them, but I'm worried about the people inside. I gave them a bottle of tea, as I told them they were okay for now." The summer high school baseball tournament in Niigata, scheduled for the 25th, has been postponed to the 26th. Power outages spread to Niigata City and Shibata City for a time. JR conventional lines are still suspended between Murakami and Sakata stations on the Uetsu Line. There is also damage from flooding of buildings. ■Reporter Tetsuya Kakigi "The road in the restaurant district in front of JR Niigata Station is flooded like this. I wonder if it's due to the rain; beer cases and trash cans are scattered everywhere." Shop owners who rushed to the scene... ■Restaurant owner "I thought, 'This is bad for Rakutenchi (the restaurant district),' so I came right away, but it was too late." This place was scheduled to reopen soon. ■Restaurant Owner "The water came up to here; the cushions are soaked. The electricity is out, and the refrigerator in the kitchen isn't working, so we've been hit pretty hard." According to Niigata City, two houses have been confirmed to have experienced underfloor flooding by 4 PM. ■Restaurant Owner "It's like starting all over again, and since many of our shops are made of wood, I'm worried about (rot, etc.)." Although the heavy rain warnings have been lifted, according to the Niigata Local Meteorological Observatory, the atmosphere remains unstable. The expected 24-hour rainfall by 6 PM on the 26th is up to 100mm in some areas of Shimogoshi, so continued caution and vigilance against landslides and other disasters are necessary.
