Record-breaking rain just drenched northeastern Japan, flooding homes and even halting the famous Shinkansen bullet trains for hours. Akita city had to issue its highest emergency alert, and several rivers burst their banks, submerging roads and cutting off travel. With more rain on the way, residents are bracing for more wild weather. Can you imagine your commute getting canceled by a river running through your street? #Transportation #JapanFloods #Shinkansen
