Typhoon #Haishen battered Japan’s southern mainland with powerful winds and rain as it drew closer to the island of Kyushu, cutting power and prompting authorities to call for some 1.8 million people to evacuate
Typhoon Haishen unleashes rain, strong winds in south Japan 2020. The second powerful typhoon to slam Japan in a week unleashed fierce winds and rain on southern islands on Sunday, blowing off rooftops and leaving homes without power as it edged northward into an area vulnerable to flooding and mudslides. Several rivers on the main southwestern island of Kyushu were at risk of overflowing, officials said.
The Japan Meteorological Agency said Typhoon Haishen, which means “sea god” in Chinese, was packing sustained winds of up to 112 mph as it battered Okinawa and the southern Kyushu island of Amami Oshima early Sunday. Alerts for strong winds, waves, high tides, rainfall and lightning were issued for Amami Oshima alongside evacuation orders.
