일 전역 900mm 폭우로 인한 산사태 우려로 60만명 대피 일본 남부 카고시마 주민들은 산사태가 발생할 것으로 우려되는 가운데 대피소와 기타 안전지대에 대피하라는 지시를 받았다. 그 도시 주변 지역은 최근 며칠 간 비정상적인 강수량을 보이고 있다. NHK는 6월 말부터 약 900mm(35인치)의 비가 규슈 최남단에 내렸다고 전했다. 목요일까지 폭우가 계속될 것으로 예상된다. 지난 7월 오랜 폭우로 산사태와 홍수가 발생했던 일본 서부에서 200명 이상의 사망자가 발생했다. 가고시마에는 27만5287가구에 59만4943명의 주민이 살고 있다. 황기철 콘페이퍼 에디터 큐레이터 Ki Chul Hwang, conpaper editor, curator |
