Tropical Storm Shanshan Causes Widespread Flooding in Japan
News summary

Tropical Storm Shanshan has caused significant devastation across Japan, particularly in the Shizuoka area, where it brought heavy rains and winds of up to 65 kilometers per hour. Since making landfall on Thursday, the storm has resulted in at least six deaths, over 120 injuries, and widespread flooding, especially in Kanagawa and Shizuoka prefectures. The storm's slow movement has led to record rainfall, with Atami City receiving 608 millimeters in 72 hours, prompting evacuation warnings due to landslide risks. Major transportation disruptions have occurred, including train service suspensions and numerous flight cancellations as authorities advise residents to remain vigilant amid continuing bad weather. Although Shanshan is expected to weaken and move north, another storm is developing near the Philippines, raising concerns for further severe weather in the region.
