Record-breaking typhoon slams Japan
Hundreds of thousands of people remain without power after Typhoon Nanmadol slammed Japan’s Kagoshima prefecture.
At least two deaths were reported.
Nanmadol brought record rainfall and is one of Japan’s strongest ever typhoons, the World Meteorological Association said.
About 300,000 homes have no power.
Over 700 mm of rainfall is expected across Kyushu island by Tuesday, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) warned.
Before landfall, 10 million people in Kyushu were advised to seek shelter on higher ground or in storm-proof facilities.
The Japan Meteorological Agency said a ‘large-scale disaster’ is still possible due to the risk of flooding and landslides.
“The highest level of vigilance is required for rising water levels and flooding of rivers, landslide disasters and flooding of lowlands,” it said.
Nanmadol is moving slowly across central Japan toward Tokyo.
It is Japan’s 14th typhoon of the year.
