태풍 ‘산산’ 일본 열도 관통 중 도쿄 등 수도권도 ‘긴장’
Japan is hit by a strong typhoon.
Shanshan has left four people dead, forced millions to evacuate, and destroyed property.
Our Ahn Sung-jin brings the latest.
Typhoon Shanshan continued its journey across Japan on Friday, causing torrential rain and disrupting transportation.
The storm has been dubbed one of the strongest typhoons ever to hit the country.
Shanshan first made landfall on the island of Kyushu on Thursday, and though it had weakened by Friday morning, winds of up to 126km per hour were still blowing as it moved northeast across the archipelago.
The typhoon has taken the lives of at least 4 people, including a family of three, and dozens have been injured as the strong winds and rain destroyed everyday infrastructure.
More than four million people had been advised to evacuate, and authorities have been issuing their highest alerts for some areas.
The Japanese Meteorological Agency said parts of Kyushu saw record rain with some areas receiving double the monthly average.
A special warning was issued by the JMA on Wednesday before the typhoon made landfall, marking the first time in two years that such a warning has been issued.
"This typhoon is scary. In terms of a disaster, we are getting a large amount of rain so I don't know what will happen going forward. I really hope everyone will stay safe."
Transportation has been disrupted including bullet trains, ferry and rail services as well as airlines with Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways canceling more than 600 of their flights for Friday.
The strong winds and torrential rain also knocked out power in many regions, closing major automobile factories run by Toyota, Nissan and Honda.
The weather agency warned that the typhoon will bring heavy rain and strong winds to many parts of the country into the weekend.
The JMA also called for people to be on high alert for landslides, flooding of low-lying areas, and overflowing rivers and strong winds.
