Four people died in Japan as Typhoon Dujuan caused landslides and disrupted power and transportation, according to official reports. The storm, which hit Tokyo and surrounding areas, led to widespread damage and evacuations.
The typhoon, which had sustained winds of 130km/h, caused torrential rain and landslides in Kanagawa and Chiba prefectures. At least four fatalities were confirmed, with six missing after landslides swept through homes.
Authorities warned of an imminent threat to life, urging 1.9 million people to move to shelters. The storm also caused power outages for 50,000 people and canceled hundreds of flights. Japan's Prime Minister continued her scheduled trip to the United States despite the disaster.
The typhoon is part of a series of extreme weather events linked to El Niño, which has warmed ocean temperatures and intensified storms. Climate change is believed to be making storms more intense, though not necessarily more frequent.
