Deadly storms and floods kill at least 20 across U.S., Japan and Spain
At least 20 people have died across three countries as extreme weather pounded regions from the U.S. to East Asia over the weekend, with hurricanes, floods and landslides causing widespread damage.
In the U.S., Indiana officials reported at least six deaths after storms and flooding battered the state, including a 4-year-old boy killed when a tree fell on his family’s home. Governor Mike Braun requested a presidential emergency declaration, and the White House approved federal disaster assistance. The Indianapolis Star reported dozens of rescues, with 95 people and 45 pets saved from rising waters. Over 12 counties declared local states of emergency, and authorities said record rainfall caused rivers to swell, submerging homes and forcing hundreds to evacuate.
Hurricane Lala, now a Category 1 storm, swept past Hawaii’s Big Island on Saturday, knocking out power to more than 40,000 customers and triggering life-threatening flood warnings. The National Hurricane Center forecast 10 to 20 inches of rain on the Big Island, with isolated totals up to 25 inches, and warned of mudslides in steep terrain. Hawaiian Electric warned of possible extended outages, and airports in Hilo and Kona were closed as the storm approached. Wind gusts exceeded 100 mph at the Maunakea Weather Center, while sustained winds reached 75 mph.
In Japan, torrential rain near Tokyo killed nine people and flooded over 1,000 homes, public broadcaster NHK reported Sunday. The downpour in Chiba Prefecture was the wettest August in six decades, with one weather station recording 30 centimeters of rain in 24 hours. By Friday morning, Chiba had already logged more than three times its typical August rainfall, according to Japan’s land ministry. Over 70 houses were partially destroyed, and nearly 600 households reported water above floor level. Authorities said 1,200 cars remained abandoned on flooded roads.
In Spain, two elderly women died and two babies were injured when a flood and landslide struck the village of Manzanedo de Valdueza in northwestern Castile and León. Emergency services confirmed the deaths of a 60-year-old and an 80-year-old, while a missing 80-year-old man was later found unharmed. The mayor of nearby Ponferrada, Marco Morala, said fierce storms in the hills unleashed a surge of stones, mud and sludge, flattening a car and damaging neighboring villages. The disaster followed weeks of heatwaves and wildfires in the region.
