Typhoon Hagibis makes landfall on Japan coast

Powerful typhoon Hagibis has made landfall in Japan, officials said as torrential rain and winds have already lashed the country causing floods and mudslides. "The eye of Typhoon Hagibis made landfall shortly before 7pm (1000 GMT) in Izu Peninsula", southwest of Tokyo, said the Japan Meteorological Agency on Saturday. Japanese weather authorities issued a top-level emergency rain warning and about a million people were issued non-compulsory evacuation orders. Train and flight services have been affected. Typhoon Hagibis, closing in from the Pacific, brought heavy rainfall in wide areas of Japan in advance of its landfall, including Shizuoka and Mie prefectures, southwest of Tokyo, as well as Chiba to the north, which had suffered power outages and damaged homes from last month's typhoon.

26 Dead after Powerful Typhoon, Mission Rescue

Tokyo: At least 26 people were killed by powerful Typhoon Hagibis, local media reported Sunday, a day after the ferocious storm slammed into Japan, unleashing unprecedented rain and catastrophic flooding. More than 100,000 rescuers, including 31,000 troops, were working into the night to reach people trapped after torrential rain caused landslides and filled rivers until they burst their banks. The destruction forced the Rugby World Cup to cancel a third tournament match, though a key Japan-Scotland fixture was ruled safe to play. The storm moved off land on Sunday morning, and while it largely spared the capital, it left a trail of destruction in surrounding regions The government put the death toll at 14, with 11 people missing, but local media said at least 26 people had been killed, and at least 15 were still unaccounted for. Rivers burst their banks at nearly a dozen locations, including in central Japan's Nagano, where a levee breach sent water from the Chikuma river gushing into residential neighbourhoods, flooding homes up to the second floor. Military and fire department helicopters winched survivors from roofs and balconies in several locations. In Iwaki City, Fukushima, a rescue went tragically awry when a woman died after falling while she was being winched to safety.
