AdvertisementA devastating mudslide which swept away homes and cars in a town in Japan has left two people dead and around 20 missing, according to officials. Around 121 people in Atami have been evacuated as the rain continues to pour, amid concerns of flash flooding in the area. 'The area is still having heavy rainfall, but arduous rescue efforts will continue,' he said. Bystanders watched on in horror as the mudslide, which some captured on their mobile phones, devastated the seaside resort in Shizuoka prefecture. Previous media reports show that a planned housing development in the area had been abandoned after its operator experienced a financial problem.
