Deadly Typhoon Roke moves across Japan
“The powerful typhoon Roke that hit Japan on Wednesday has been making its way across the country, bringing floods, damage and deaths.
At least six people have been killed by the storm, with many others missing or injured, local media reported.
The storm, which caused winds of 162km/h (100mph), passed near the capital Tokyo and the damaged nuclear power plant at Fukushima.
However, it now looks as if the storm is losing strength.
Roke, the second typhoon to hit Japan this month, made landfall on Wednesday afternoon (0500GMT) in Hamamatsu.
It then moved up the main island of Honshu before passing near Tokyo, where thousands of commuters were stranded with trains suspended.”
