A powerful typhoon advances toward the Tokyo area, where torrential rains are expected this weekend.
TOKYO — A powerful typhoon was forecast to bring 2 feet of rain and damaging winds to the Tokyo area this weekend, and Japan’s government warned people Friday to stockpile supplies and evacuate before it’s too dangerous.
Kajihara said Typhoon Hagibis resembled a typhoon that hit the Tokyo region in 1958 with heavy rains and left a half-million houses flooded. More than 1,200 people died in that storm.“The government is doing the utmost to prepare for the approaching typhoon,” disaster management minister Ryota Takeda told reporters, and urged people to prepare early and obtain food and water.
Up to 800 millimeters of rain was forecast south and west of Tokyo, while the capital region may see 600 mm of rain from Saturday morning to Sunday morning. It’s forecast to pass out to sea by Sunday afternoon.
