  "account": "Four people lost their lives in Japan due to Typhoon Dujuan, which brought torrential rains, destructive winds, and power outages to Tokyo and surrounding prefectures. The storm caused power cuts for 50,000 residents and disrupted hundreds of flights. Evacuation orders were lifted on Tuesday as the storm moved away from Japan's eastern coast. At its peak on Monday, authorities issued an \"imminent threat to life\" warning, urging 1.9 million people to seek shelter. Deaths occurred in Kanagawa and Chiba prefectures, with six others reported missing. Typhoon Dujuan sustained winds of 130km/h (81mph) and gusts of 194km/h. This is Japan's 25th typhoon of the year, occurring during a five-day holiday, leading to the cancellation of several events such as concerts at the Rock in Japan music festival and the Tokyo Game Show. Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi offered condolences to those affected and continued her trip to the United States as planned. The Yokosuka City Fire Department reported a woman in her 60s buried alive in a landslide, found alive after rescue efforts and pronounced dead. Meanwhile, a man in his 50s trapped during debris clearing work was rescued but later died at the hospital. Authorities are investigating the incident. Climate change, particularly the \"super El Niño,\" has contributed to the intensity of the storm, with warmer ocean waters and increased moisture fueling more powerful and destructive typhoons.",
