At least 109 people have died in Japan following historic flooding and mudslides over the weekend that prompted evacuation orders covering about five million people, The Guardian reported Monday.
The flooding was prompted by Japan’s heaviest rainfall in decades. Parts of western Japan saw three times July’s regular rainfall since Thursday, BBC News reported.

The world is really topsy-turvy!
Ant Holzer No, it was all predicted by scientists.
I hate to be a pessimist but without enough effort to curb all of the damage being done to our world, it makes me wonder if this is the beginning of the end — that will come a few more hundred years or so in the future.
Steve MacLellan The end of what? Stupid humans living on this planet?Could be.
Shawn H Corey The world has become to that we find today, chaos everywhere. The basis of all this is this greed, leaving nothing untouched. The soil, ground water, the ocean, the air, the wildlife, the environment; our generation has destroyed EVERYTHING. It actually makes me quite livid, when I think of the the future of my grand children, but not only them, their generation will find very little of this what we have enjoyed to the full. And, what is even worse, we know what is happening and yet we carry on regardless.
Steve MacLellan We call ourselves “Homo Sapiens (sapiens)” Where are our brains when we knowingly chop the last little branch that we sit on?
I have three grandchildren too, so I know what you’re feeling. Hopefully they’ll be smarter than our generation and elect better leaders to run in government.
Steve MacLellan They be smarter but the system is tilted against them.
