"Deadly tropical storms whip Japan, Taiwan; close in on Marianas
(Associated Press)
A fierce storm that killed dozens of people in the Philippines and
Micronesia crawled up Japan toward Tokyo late Wednesday, threatening to
dump heavy rains over the capital after flooding rural towns. Two other
storms were churning through the region, triggering a rock slide that
crushed a tour bus in Taiwan and lashing the tiny Pacific island of Guam
and the nearby Marianas. Chataan had been downgraded from typhoon status by
the time it hit southern Japan early Wednesday, but it still wreaked havoc.
About 15,000 people in the central Japanese city of Ogaki were ordered to
evacuate after a river flooded over its banks and a rock slide cut access
to villages. But with two other tropical storms raging in the Pacific far
off Taiwan's eastern coast, there was a chance that Nakri could be nudged
back to the island, forecasters said.
Halong, a third tropical storm, was gaining strength southeast of the
Pacific island of Guam. It was expected to be upgraded to typhoon status
and possibly hit the nearby Marianas islands later Wednesday. Along with
the damage it caused in Micronesia and the Philippines, where it killed 30
people and injured another 41, Chataan, with 160 kph (100 mph) winds, left
the island of Guam without electricity and little or no water pressure in
some areas."
