This is the first time in around six years that a typhoon has struck Kyushu directly, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.
Heavy rainfall forced the evacuation of about 7,000 people in several prefectures, including Ehime, Tottori, Okayama and Shimane, Japan’s public broadcaster NHK said.
Toraji is the 17th typhoon to hit Japan this year and is predicted to carry winds of up to 126kph and waves as high as 6 meters in the south, and winds of up to 108 kph and waves of 5 meters in the north.
The Japan Meteorological Agency said that continuous heavy rainfall will hit a wide area ranging from the western Japan to northern Japan, and might lead to floods and landslides as well, so residents are strongly urged to evacuate for their own safety./.
