Five people are dead after torrential rain hit northern Japan, triggering flooding and landslides.

The meterological agency has issued evacuation warnings and asked residents to take "immediate action" to protect their lives.

The Iwate local government has asked Japanese troops to assist in emergency operations.

On Friday, here in Akita prefecture, three people were killed, when their houses were swept away by massive floods.
