“Typhoon Wipha” caused landslides and flooding on Izu Oshima Island, south of Tokyo. Many people died when houses collapsed or were buried in mudslides. In Tokyo, flights were cancelled, bullet train services suspended and schools closed. Officials on the island said that 13 bodies had found and more than 50 people were unaccounted for. “It is the strongest typhoon in 10 years to pass the Kanto [Tokyo area] region,” Hiroyuki Uchida, the Japan Meteorological Agency’s chief forecaster, Said.
