Typhoon Jangmi Causes Widespread Damage and Injuries in Japan
Typhoon Jangmi, also known as Typhoon No 6, has moved northwards across Japan, causing significant damage and injuries. The typhoon brought prolonged and heavy rainfall, leading to landslide warnings and river flooding. Japan issued level 4 warnings for some rivers, indicating a high risk of overflowing, which is sufficient for municipalities to issue evacuation orders. The typhoon recorded sustained wind speeds of 80mph, classifying it as a category 1 typhoon. By Wednesday, 23 people were injured, with 17 injuries reported in Okinawa. The storm damaged 57 homes and caused power outages for 60,000 homes. Additionally, 1.52 million people were advised to evacuate. The typhoon also damaged the exterior wall of Himeji Castle, a UNESCO world heritage site. The typhoon has since weakened into a tropical depression and moved eastwards.
