Rain lets up, but landslide threat remains

Weather officials in Japan say the worst may be over for areas that have been devastated by intense downpours. But as the rain moves south, authorities are warning that people should continue to watch out for landslides.

Water has begun to recede in Shimane Prefecture. A swollen river there inundated homes. The water rose up to the ceilings in some residences.
