The flood was caused by cloudbursts and prolonged rain from the Meiyu rain front which dropped 1,000 mm (3.3 ft.) of rain over Mount Aso and Mount Hiko. This downpour resulted in the overflow of many of the surrounding rivers, such as the Chikugo River. The flood was a major disaster with 771 people dead or missing, 450,000 houses flooded, and about 1 million people affected.
