[yuiyoshida]

A major river has flooded in the eastern Japanese prefecture of Ibaraki, sweeping away homes and stranding many people.

Heavy rain broke a levee of the Kinugawa river in the city of Joso on Thursday. Muddy waters were still gushing into residential areas at 4 PM.

Footage taken from an NHK helicopter shows that the flood washed away or tilted many houses. Trapped residents were seen calling for help.
