Powerful storm hits Japan’s already disaster-ravaged west
A powerful storm slammed into Japan on Sunday, bringing heavy rain as it churned across western areas already hard hit by floods and landslides earlier this month.
Typhoon Jongdari, with winds of up to 180 kilometers an hour, made landfall at Ise in Mie Prefecture at around 1:00 am Sunday (16:00 GMT Saturday), according to the meteorological agency.
More than 170 domestic flights were canceled and train services disrupted. At least 10 people were injured in falls or by cuts from broken glass and metal shards, local police said.
Public broadcaster NHK put the number of the injured at 19 across six prefectures.
The typhoon weakened after making landfall and was downgraded to a tropical storm but many provinces stayed on alert.
