Powerful typhoon set to hit Tokyo
According to the International herald Tribune/Asia Pacific:
A powerful typhoon disrupted air traffic and oil shipments in Japan on Thursday as it churned northward over the Pacific Ocean, heading toward the nation’s capital.
The storm, with winds up to 144 kilometers per hour (89 mph), was expected to land in the Tokyo area Thursday evening, Japan’s Meteorological Agency said.
Local media reported no injuries, but heavy rain and winds halted oil deliveries from refineries in Yokkaichi in Chiba prefecture (state), and grounded 14 flights of Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways.
Seems like it’s a wet summer everywhere. Hope the typhoon passes with no further damages and flights resume to normal soon.
