The downpour flooded Nagoya, turning streets into rivers and forcing officials to order evacuations throughout the city. Reuters captured the scene with a car half‑submerged as water surged down downtown avenues, and Kyodo News described neighborhoods being completely swamped.\n\nThe significant flooding left one person dead and injured more than 40 others, according to Kyodo.
In the wake of the recent disaster, Nagoya’s mayor told Reuters that the Asian Games schedule would proceed unchanged, asserting that evacuation orders would not impact venues. AP News confirmed that both the Games’ sites and its athletes remained unharmed.
