Tokyo-Sana
Two people were killed and a third was missing today due to Typhoon "Talas" that hit central Japan and also caused power outages.
AFP quoted an official source in the Japanese relief teams as saying: "One of the dead residents of Kakigawa in Shizuoka prefecture swept his house into a landslide, and the second of a resident of the neighboring city of Fukuroi, whose house was flooded, while a third person is still missing after his car fell into a ditch that suddenly appeared in the middle of The road in Kawanihoncho, Shizuoka Prefecture".
The source explained that since yesterday, more than 120,000 homes in Shizuoka and Chibu counties have had electricity cut off, and running water has been cut off to about 55,000 homes in Shizuoka Prefecture. Japan brings torrential rain a week after another major storm hit the country.
Japan experiences about ten typhoons every year between summer and autumn, with four people killed and 147 injured last week by Typhoon Nanmadol in the southwest of the Japanese archipelago.
