Japan: Typhoon leaves 100 flights cancelled and 1m without power
A powerful typhoon in Japan has left more than 100 flights cancelled, 1m households without power, and transport disrupted across major cities. Typhoon Faxai, which made landfall early Monday morning in the coastal city of Chiba, brought heavy rain and winds of 120 miles per hour, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). The storm then moved over Tokyo and paralyzed transport. More than 100 flights to and from airports in the Tokyo area were canceled on Monday, including 49 Japan Airlines flights and 41 by All Nippon Airways, according to the airport website. The entire Keikyu rail line, which connects Tokyo and Yokohama to Haneda Airport, is still suspended. Photos show flooded streets, littered with downed trees and branches. So far there have been no deaths reported, but at least ten people have been hospitalized, NHK said on Monday.<br/>
