TOKYO » A
powerful typhoon was bearing down Japan, dumping torrential rains and
flooding parts of the country's popular tourist destination of Kyoto,
where 260,000 people were ordered to evacuate to shelters.
Typhoon
Man-yi, one of the most powerful storms to lash Japan this season, was
packing wind speeds of 100 miles per hour Monday morning (today in
Hawaii) and headed toward Tokyo.
The storm
dumped an "unprecedented amount of rainfall" in Kyoto and its
neighboring towns it passed overnight, the Meteorologial Agency said.
Beyond
those who sought shelter in Kyoto, hundreds of thousands of others were
also ordered to evacuate in western Japan. About 80,000 houses were
without electricity in western and central Japan.
NHK public television showed tourists in Kyoto being evacuated on boats towed by rescue workers.
Central
Japan Railway suspended bullet train operations between Shin-Yokohama
and Odawara stations in Kanagawa prefecture, south of Tokyo, for almost
an hour due to heavy rain, public television broadcaster NHK reported on
its website. All Nippon Airways Co. canceled six flights between
Tokyo's Haneda airport and Hachijojima island today, NHK said.
The
Meteorological Agency issued a flood warning to residents living near
the Kokai river in Tochigi Prefecture, north of Tokyo, and lifted an
earlier flood warning for the Meguro river, which runs through Tokyo. An
evacuation warning was issued for about 4,000 homes in Hiratsuka city,
south of Tokyo, NHK reported.
Forecasters
expect central and western Japan to receive as much as 24 inches of
rain by Monday morning, and areas around Tokyo to get 14 inches of rain,
NHK said.
