Scores injured and millions told to evacuate as a deadly typhoon hits the Japanese capital, bringing with it the heaviest rain and winds in 60 years
TOKYO - Two men were killed, about 60 people injured and more than six million people advised to evacuate as a powerful typhoon bore down on the Japanese capital on Saturday, bringing with it the heaviest rain and winds in 60 years.
The Japan Meteorological Agency issued the highest alert level for 12 prefectures, including Tokyo, warning of amounts of rain that occur only once in decades. Yuka Ikemura, a 24-year-old nursery school teacher, was in one such facility at a community center in Edogawa in eastern Tokyo with her 3-year-old son, 8-month-old daughter and their pet rabbit.“I’ve got small children to take care of and we live on the first floor of an old apartment,” Ikemura said.
Kanagawa prefecture said it was releasing water from the Shiroyama dam, southwest of Tokyo, as an emergency measure and alerted residents in areas along nearby rivers. A number of municipal governments issued evacuation orders to areas particularly at risk of floods and landslides, including some in the most populous Tokyo region.
