Strong typhoon crashes into Tokyo area, one dead

3 hours ago

TOKYO (AFP) — A strong typhoon crashed into the Tokyo region on Friday, bringing downpours and violent gusts that killed one person, injured dozens more and disrupted hundreds of flights, officials and reports said.

Packing violent winds that were sweeping some people off their feet, Typhoon Fitow slammed into Kanagawa prefecture, just south of the capital, shortly before 2:30 am (1730 GMT).

The typhoon, whose winds were 121 kilometres (75 miles) an hour near its centre, was forecast to slowly work its way across the Tokyo region in the early hours of Friday.

Its power was just a notch below Typhoon Tokage, Japan's deadliest typhoon in a quarter century that killed dozens of people in October 2004.
