Japan battered by more heavy rain, floods, nearly 60 dead July 07, 2020 at 07:59PM

Pounding rain that already caused deadly floods in southern Japan was moving northeast Wednesday, battering large areas of Japan's main island, swelling more rivers, triggering mudslides and destroying houses and roads. At least 58 people have died in several days of flooding. By Wednesday morning, parts of Nagano and Gifu in central Japan were flooded by massive downpours.
