| For example, when the same embankment broke down by two floods in 1896 and 1907 due to heavy rain, the urban area was flooded above floor level on the second floor; people had to live on the roofs of their houses, and moved by boat until flood waters receded. |
例えば1896年（明治29年）と1907年（明治40年）に起きた大雨による氾濫は、両者とも同じ堤防が決壊したことにより市街地は2階まで床上浸水し、水が引くまでは屋根の上で生活し移動も船でという状況だった。 |
