this rescue operation live on our televisions. >> reporter: and rosemary, i have to tell you there has been concern this may be coming since for the better part of four weeks now in japan we have been inundated with rain on an almost daily basis. the rain of course intensified with that typhoon, tropical storm etau that moved through here yesterday dumping very, very heavy rain here in toke-on-and several hundred kilometers in the north in ibaraki and tochigi prefectures where the biggest danger is right now. given the fact that tokyo is very densely populated and only 170,000 people have received the evacuation orders so far gives you a sense of the geography in this area.
