Japan's Hiroshima prefecture is beginning to clean up from flooding and mudslides caused by days of unusual torrential rains in southwestern Japan over the weekend. On Monday, Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said 87 people are confirmed dead from the natural disaster, 13 others had no vital signs when they were found, and at least 68 people are still unaccounted for, many of them in hard-hit Hiroshima. The rain caused rivers to flood, leaving residents stranded on rooftops. The search-and-rescue efforts are ongoing.
