Typhoon Shanshan begins dumping rain on parts of Japan, leaving 1 dead and several injured

Associated Press  

TOKYO — A typhoon moving at a bicycle speed began dumping rain on parts of Japan Wednesday, leaving one person dead and several injured as weather officials issued the highest-level warnings in the country’s south, expected to be the most hard-hit. The Japan Meteorological Agency says Typhoon Shanshan is set to reach southern Kyushu and possibly make landfall Thursday where it forecasts up to 60 centimeters of rainfall in 24 hours. Typhoon Shanshan was about 50 kilometers south of the Kagoshima prefecture early Thursday as it headed north just off the western coast of Kyushu island, packing winds of up to 180 kilometers per hour, according to the meteorological agency. Disaster Management Minister Yoshifumi Matsumura, at a task force meeting Wednesday, said the typhoon could cause “unprecedented” levels of violent winds, high waves, storm surges and heavy rain.
