Landslides ripped through waterlogged areas in Chiba and Fukushima prefectures, in eastern and northeastern Japan, on Friday. Some roads were closed and about 4,700 households were still without water in the city of Kamogawa, Chiba, the public broadcaster said. Smartphone screen maker Japan Display Inc said it had suspended production at its Mobara factory in Chiba on Saturday, due to a partial blackout. Authorities warned of the chance of further landslides and floods, especially in areas where levees remained broken after Typhoon Hagibis. That typhoon killed at least 88 people, with seven others still missing and more than 300 injured, according to NHK.
