According to a local government official, two individuals were confirmed deceased following Saturday’s catastrophe at the hot-spring resort of Atami in central Japan, with ten others rescued and almost 20 still missing.

The landslide, caused by days of torrential rain, struck early Saturday morning, washing away mountainside houses and transforming residential areas into a quagmire that extended all the way down to the adjacent coast, reported Aljazeera.

The floods are a reminder of the natural catastrophes that afflict Japan, including earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis, where the capital Tokyo will host the summer Olympics beginning this month.
