  "account": "Typhoon Dujuan battered Japan on Tuesday, causing extensive damage and prompting widespread evacuations and flight cancellations. Over one million people were under evacuation advisories, and hundreds of flights were grounded. At least two people were confirmed dead after landslides triggered by heavy rainfall hit Chiba and Kanagawa prefectures. The storm brought torrential rains, flooding, and landslides to the region, with winds reaching 144 km/h. Japan often experiences strong typhoons in late summer and early autumn, but this one was particularly intense, with total rainfall expected to exceed the average for September. The storm forced the early closure of the Tokyo Game Show and canceled major outdoor events, including a baseball match. Railway services were suspended in some areas, and there were reports of flooded roads and streets. The Japanese Meteorological Agency warned of continued heavy rain and strong winds as the typhoon moved north.",
  "summary": "Two people have been confirmed dead as heavy rainfall triggered landslides in Chiba and Kanagawa prefectures near Tokyo, local media reported.",
