Tropical Storm Shanshan hit Japan, bringing heavy rain and strong winds to the country. The storm made landfall in the southern region of Kyushu, causing widespread flooding and travel disruptions. The torrential downpour has led to evacuation orders being issued for thousands of residents in affected areas.
The storm also brought rough seas and high tides, leading to the cancellation of ferry services and causing damage to coastal areas. In addition to the flooding, landslides have been reported in some parts of the country, posing a threat to residents and infrastructure.
According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, Shanshan is moving northward and is expected to continue to bring heavy rain to northern Japan in the coming days. Authorities are warning residents to stay alert and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
The storm comes at a particularly difficult time for Japan, as the country is still recovering from the devastating floods and landslides that occurred in July. The government has been working to provide aid and support to those affected by the recent natural disasters, but the arrival of Tropical Storm Shanshan has further strained resources and emergency response efforts.
As Japan braces for more severe weather, residents are being urged to stay indoors, avoid unnecessary travel, and prepare for potential power outages. The country’s infrastructure and emergency services are on high alert, ready to respond to any further impacts from Tropical Storm Shanshan.
