Tropical Storm Shanshan Causes Flooding in Japan
News summary

Tropical Storm Shanshan has caused widespread destruction across Japan, particularly in Tokyo and southern regions, bringing torrential rain and severe flooding. The storm has claimed at least six lives, with three deaths reported from landslides before landfall, and additional fatalities resulting from flooding incidents. Over 100 people have been injured, primarily in the Kyushu region, while many areas are experiencing blocked roads and inundated properties. Shanshan initially made landfall as a powerful typhoon on Kyushu before weakening; however, its slow movement has intensified rainfall risks, prompting warnings for further flooding and landslides in Tokyo and surrounding prefectures. The Japan Meteorological Agency forecasts continued heavy rainfall, predicting up to 30 centimeters in some regions. As a result, transportation and delivery services have been severely disrupted, affecting daily life and emergency response efforts.
