Japan Typhoon Mudslide Captured On Camera This Week [Video]

Japan may ordinarily be one of the most tranquil and beautiful holiday destinations, but this is not an easy place to live, and if storms like this continue to strengthen, these people will have to move permanently.
Heavy rain caused by Tropical Storm Neoguri triggered this intense mudslide in Nagiso, Japan on Wednesday. The video shows a muddy waterfall violently overtaken by an onslaught of trees, mud, and debris. The mudslide destroyed numerous homes and businesses, killing a 12-year-old boy and sending more than 200 people to shelters in the area.
Neoguri strengthened to a powerful Super Typhoon earlier in the week, only to rapidly weaken by the time it passed Okinawa. It turned east and struck the main islands of Japan, bringing heavy rain and gusty winds to the country.While the residents pick up the pieces, another typhoon is gathering strength over the Pacific Ocean and is set to strike the northern Philippines next week.More info from Gawker’s The Vane here.Latest News
