Heavy flooding has never been seen, causing at least 85 deaths in Japan

The historic 'big unprecedented flooding' in Japan has killed at least 85 people and millions of people have fled their homes.

According to the Daily Mail, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has warned of needing to "race against time" to bring people in dangerous areas to safety.

An estimated 1.5 million people are forced to leave their homes to evacuate, while 3 million others are advised to do the same, or face a disaster by historical flooding.

This is considered the worst flood in Japan for decades.

The Japan Meteorological Agency said the 3-hour precipitation in Kochi Prefecture alone was up to 26.3cm, the highest level recorded since the agency began statistics in 1976.

Japan's NHK TV channel quoted authorities as saying at least 85 people were killed, 6 were in critical condition. Japanese government spokesman Yoshihide Suga said 92 people were still missing in southern Hiroshima Prefecture.

Japanese rescue team rescues the trapped people.

Japan has sent 40 helicopters to support search and rescue.'The rescue team is working hard. We have to race against time , 'said Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

More than 50,000 workers, police, and military officers were also mobilized to deal with the disaster. Many villages were completely submerged in floodwaters. The only thing people see in this area is a traffic light.

Historical flood caused many villages to completely flood the country.

Heavy rain started last week after a storm hit the land. Many Japanese people who could not evacuate were isolated on the roof.

The statistics of damage and the number of casualties currently face many challenges because the area of ​​influence is quite large. The Japanese government warned this could be the worst flood in decades.
