It has been reported that due to the flooding caused by the heavy rains throughout much of eastern Japan, the rising waters have washed away houses in Tochigi and Ibaraki.
Monnosuke 
There are people who are still waiting for help. I do hope they will be rescued as soon as possible.
For those who live in such region, please keep away from waters.
I would like to offer my heartfelt sympathy to the people living in the regions hit by the flood.
東日本の多くの地域に降った大雨により各地で被害が出ているとのことです。栃木、茨城では多くの家屋が流されています。
未だ救助を求めている方々もいらっしゃいます。少しでも早く救助されますように。
当該地域にお住いの方はくれぐれも水辺には近づかないようにお気をつけください。
洪水の被害に遭われた地域の方々には心よりお見舞い申し上げます。
