Coincidentally enough we are also getting battered by a typhoon that just passed us. Heavy rains and winds all around in both hemispheres, apparently.

Japanfs Worst Cyclone in Seven Years Leaves 26 Dead, 53 Missing

2011-09-05 04:47:18.688 GMT


By Makoto Miyazaki and Aaron Sheldrick
Sept. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Tropical Storm Talas killed 26
people and left 53 missing as the worst cyclone in seven years
pummeled western Japan, knocking out power, roads and bridges,
while landslides swept dozens of houses away.
More than 440,000 people were ordered or advised to
evacuate, the Fire and Disaster Management Agency said. The
government dispatched emergency teams to the Kansai region of
western Japan as the storm brought downpours that flooded rivers
and caused landslides.
About 170 houses are destroyed or damaged and more than
5,400 houses were flooded, according to the FDMA. The heaviest
damage was in Wakayama prefecture south of Osaka. In nearby Nara
prefecture more than 1.8 meters (6 feet) of rain fell between 5
p.m. on Aug. 30 and 7 a.m. today, the FDMA said.
The storm was the most deadly to hit the country in seven
years, the Yomiuri newspaper said. As many as 98 people were
killed or went missing in a storm in 2004.
The center of Talas was over the Sea of Japan today after
making landfall on Sept. 3 and passing over the islands of
Shikoku and Honshu. The stormfs winds were blowing at 74
kilometers per hour (46 miles per hour).
Warnings for heavy rain and landslides remain in effect for
central Honshu and parts of the north, which is still recovering
from the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.
Japan Airlines Co. and All Nippon Airways Co. canceled 332
domestic and international flights, affecting about 31,000
passengers, the carriers said on Sept. 3.
