Civil Disturbia | Typhoon Cimaron slams Japan @CivilDistribution | Uploaded August 2018 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
The 20th typhoon of the season brought record downpours to western Japan, including Hyogo and Kyoto prefectures, late Thursday and early Friday before heading north over the Sea of Japan.
The Meteorological Agency warned of gusts, high waves and landslides as Typhoon Cimaron looked to turn into an extratropical cyclone Friday night as the storm was predicted to hit Hokkaido.
On Thursday night, the typhoon made landfall in southern Tokushima Prefecture and later spurred flooding in Wakayama Prefecture.
According to Kansai Electric Power Co., about 26,590 houses in Mie, Shiga, Kyoto, Nara and Wakayama Prefectures experienced power cuts caused by the typhoon. Power supplies to all of those homes were said to have been restored by 9 p.m.
On Thursday, more than 350 flights were canceled at airports in western Japan. At 6 p.m., Shikoku Railway Co., better known as JR Shikoku, halted operations of all railway services. The storm is already suspected to have led to the disappearance of three Shizuoka University students — Eina Goto, 19, Yoshifumi Matsudo, 19, and Toshikazu Matsumura, 20 — who vanished Thursday from a beach in the city of Shizuoka. Police and firefighters fear they were swept away by high waves caused by the typhoon.
