The leading edge

Typhoon Phanfone has also grounded more than 600 flights and forced Japanese authorities to suspend a search for the bodies of those still missing more than a week after a volcano erupted, claiming dozens of lives. The leading edge of the typhoon was whipping rain and strong winds through Tokyo's morning rush hour. The storm system was estimated to be 200 kilometres (124 miles) southwest of the capital at 8:00 am (2300 GMT on Sunday) and moving northeast at 45 kilometres per hour, the weather agency said. The agency warned that landslides, floods, high waves and heavy rains could hit a large swathe of the archipelago, where a relatively wet summer brought numerous landslides, including in Hiroshima where at least 70 people died. Strong typhoon Phanfone made landfall in central Japan on Monday, slamming into the archipelago with winds of 180 kilometres (112 miles) per hour and making a beeline for Tokyo, the country's meteorological agency said. Local governments in many areas issued evacuation advisories to more than 300,000 residents, according to public broadcaster NHK said. The first fatalities of Phanfone had already been recorded. Three US military officials were engulfed by high waves triggered by the storm on the southern island of Okinawa. "Three officials were taking pictures with high waves whipped up by the typhoon in the background," a spokesman at local police said.
