Flights scrapped, evacuations urged as Typhoon Dujuan wallops Japan
More than one million people faced evacuation advisories and two were confirmed dead after torrential rain triggered landslides near Tokyo.
Typhoon Dujuan has slammed Japan, causing widespread destruction and evacuations. Over a million people were ordered to evacuate, and hundreds of flights were cancelled as the typhoon swept past Tokyo. The storm brought torrential rain, floods, and landslides to the Tokyo region. Two deaths have been confirmed due to landslides in Chiba and Kanagawa prefectures.
Wind speeds reached 144 km/h, causing disruptions to events such as the Tokyo Game Show and a baseball match in Chiba. Over 9,000 households near Tokyo lost power, and railway operators suspended services on some lines. The JMA warned that the rain and winds could intensify as the typhoon moved north, with total rainfall expected to exceed the average monthly rainfall for September.
