This is the best summary I could come up with:
The 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck the Japan Sea coast on Monday, flattening towns on the remote Noto peninsula.
Citing local police sources, the newspaper reported that the elderly woman was responsive, but believed to be suffering from hypothermia.
Japan’s Self-Defense Forces are using helicopters for rescue operations and deliver supplies to isolated areas, as several roads remain blocked.
According to public broadcaster NHK, rescue efforts could be hampered by wet weather forecasted for Sunday in some quake-hit areas, with authorities warning that even a small amount of rain could trigger more landslides.
They also warned that a cold front is expected on Sunday, which could bring snowfall through Monday in mountainous areas of the quake-hit Ishikawa prefecture.
Ishikawa’s governor Hiroshi Hase said during a disaster management meeting that the prefecture was facing “extremely severe situations”.
