Typhoon lashes Japan with torrential rain and strong winds
A typhoon lashed southern Japan with torrential rain and strong winds Thursday, causing at least three deaths as it started a crawl up the length of the archipelago and raised concerns of flooding, landslides and extensive damage.
Typhoon Shanshan made landfall in the morning near Satsumasendai in southern Kyushu, where up to 60 centimeters (23.6 inches) of rain could fall in 24 hours, the Japan Meteorological Agency said. It also said the typhoon would bring strong winds, high waves and significant rainfall to most of the country, particularly the southern prefectures of Kyushu, and issued its highest-level warnings.
People living in the warned areas were urged to take shelter at community centers and other public facilities.
