Video: Deadly typhoon rolls towards Fukushima | Tokyo
Information | History | View | Sightseeing | Video
A powerful typhoon buffeted Tokyo with strong winds and rain on Wednesday, halting trains and stranding tens of thousands of commuters as it barrelled toward the tsunami-ravaged northeastern coast with its crippled nuclear plant. The storm, packing sustained winds of up to 90 mph (144 kph), made landfall in the afternoon near the city of Hamamatsu, about 125 miles (200 kilometres) west of Tokyo. Police and local media reported that 6 people were dead or missing after being swept away by rivers swollen with rains from Typhoon Roke. Meanwhile, nearly 260-thousand households in central Japan were without electricity, and authorities called for more than a million people to be evacuated in central and eastern Japan. Heavy rains caused floods and road damage in dozens of locations in Nagoya and several other cities. The centre of the storm passed just north of Tokyo on Wednesday evening and was expected to head towards the northeastern region of Tohoku devastated by the 11 March tsunami and earthquake.

You go out an buy some more burlap bags for your family now and be a good little Moosie. Oh and fuck you and your Muslim fuck people.

@Aws8819 Allah the way you follow it is not our God, cutting off heads and speaking in rhymes and riddles. Come bring this crap in the US and you will see it has a breaking point and we have guns in every house hold. Leave us alone please go home!

I was just in Ishinomaki, Miyagi Prefecture on a volunteer trip while this typhoon swept the whole North Eastern part of Japan. It was pretty bad there with flooding and stuff, but I had no idea that it was this BAD in some parts of this country... No wonder my bus ride home took an extra 4 hours....

@Aws8819 "Whoever goes right, then he goes right only for the benefit of his ownself. And whoever goes astray then he goes astray to his own loss. No one laden with burdens shall bear another's burden. And We never punish until We have sent a Messenger" (Quran 17:15) Remember humans have free will and free will can cause things to happen, too. Even if every last death was the "justice of Allah" shouldn't we still sympathize with those who lost loved ones and help them rebuild their lives?

oh dear, oh for the ignorant, typhoons are a type of weather system and fukushima was damaged by an earthquake [should have been built stronger and with better back up systems.]

@Aws8819 Ah.. I see... I know nothing of Islam because I believe in helping others and that Islam should do the same as each and every prophet and messenger of Islam has done.. Interesting. They also spread the message for free and attempted not to provoke violence, but only fight in self defense... Doesn't the Qur'an say that no bearer of burdens shall bear the burdens of another? Yet.. you think Allah is punishing innocent people for the murders committed by others...?
