BERMAN: Devastating floods in Eastern Japan, nearly half a million people have been ordered to leave their homes. More than 2 feet of rain has fallen since Monday. This unprecedented downpour sent flood waters raging through the communities. At least three people are dead and two dozen are missing at this point. I want to get the latest from CNN's Will Ripley live from Joso City that's north of the Tokyo -- Will.</s>WILL RIPLEY, CNN CORRESPONDENT: John, you really do get a sense of the destructive power of these floods when you see damage like this behind me, these temporary buildings that were floating. In fact, the flood yesterday even picked up some houses off of their foundation and they were floating down the river as well. But also as the water goes down, we also get a sense of the infrastructure damage and the reason why these neighborhoods may not be habitable for quite some time. You have to drive for a couple of kilometers to see anything other than the headlights on cars. We saw some power crews out here checking the grid and trying to see if they can get the lights back on. It is definitely not clear yet when power will be restored for the thousands of homes or even when any of these places will be liveable when you're dealing with the damage from the flooding that we saw. You mentioned three people now dead, 22 people missing, and there has been more rain farther up Japan's eastern coast in the city of Osaki. There were evacuation advisories issued and there are still dozens of people who are trapped in flooding that caused damage like this. With more rain in the forecast for parts of Eastern Japan and already water logged ground, there is a lot of uncertainty about what will happen here if it rains again -- John.</s>BERMAN: Will Ripley, thanks very much.</s>ROMANS: All right, New York Police Department apologizing for the mistaken identity arrest of a tennis pro, but did race play a role in this takedown? Details ahead.
