Tropical Storm Nakri (2014)

[2] As Nakri neared the Korean Peninsula, the JTWC had begun warning on the system, although the JMA had already downgraded it to a tropical storm.

[6] On July 31, several flights to and from Naha Airport in Okinawa Prefecture and ferry service between local islands were canceled.

[8] Forecasts indicated that upwards of 300 mm (12 in) of rain could fall from Okinawa northward to Kyushu, prompting flood advisories for the region.

[9] Residents across South Korea received word of the impending effects of Tropical Storm Nakri on July 31.

Hardest hit was Misamis Oriental province on Mindanao where flooding and strong winds damaged crops and homes.

[13] Torrential rains affected much of Shikoku, Japan, with many areas reporting more than 1,000 mm (39 in) over a three-day span in early August.

The Yoshino River overtopped its banks and inundated 247 homes in Tokushima Prefecture; the resulting floods killed one person and injured two others.

[17] In Yamakita, Kanagawa, the normally shallow Nakagawa River abruptly rose to 2 m (6.6 ft) following heavy rains; three people were killed when their car was overwhelmed by the rising water.

[19] Tropical Storm Nakri dropped record-breaking rains over southern area of South Korea, especially on Jeju Island which received more than 1,500 mm (59 in).

[21] The torrential rains from Nakri and the subsequent Typhoon Halong resulted in Kōchi Prefecture seeing its wettest month on record.

The tremendous rainfall left soil overly saturated and on August 20, a heavy thunderstorm triggered a series of devastating landslides near Hiroshima.
