Typhoon Dujuan has killed six people as it struck Japan's Chiba and Kanagawa prefectures, with potentially record-breaking rainfall expected as the storm nears Tokyo.
Fatalities and flooding in Chiba and Kanagawa
The deaths occurred as the typhoon brought torrential rain to the region, causing floods and landslides. In Sakura, Chiba prefecture, floodwaters submerged roads and vehicles, and firefighters pushed a life raft carrying residents near a flooded river. An elderly woman was carried from a flooded area by firefighters.
In Kanagawa prefecture, a mudslide approached a residential area in Miura. Emergency workers also visited the site of a mudslide in Kamogawa where buildings had collapsed.
Tokyo and surrounding areas hit by heavy rain and winds
Pedestrians waited at Shibuya crossing in Tokyo under heavy rainfall, and a man waded through a flooded road in Sakura. In Funabashi, near Tokyo, pedestrians crossed a flooded street, while a boy cycled through floodwaters in Ichikawa. Flood waters spread across a park in Ichikawa as heavy rain fell.
In Tokyo's Naka-Meguro area, police tape restricted access to a narrow residential street where a retaining wall had collapsed following heavy rain. At Haneda Airport, Japan Airlines aircraft were seen on the tarmac as the typhoon caused flight disruptions.
Widespread disruption and submerged vehicles
A truck was submerged on a flooded road in Sakura, and a flooded area was reported in Oamishirasato in eastern Japan. Pedestrians held on to their umbrellas amid strong winds and heavy rainfall in Chiba prefecture. Firefighters rode in a vehicle through floodwaters after the typhoon brought torrential rain to Sakura.
