Over one million residents in southern Japan have been urged to evacuate as Typhoon Shanshan made landfall on Thursday, battering Kyushu island with powerful winds, heavy rain, and dangerous storm surges. The Japan Meteorological Agency issued an emergency warning, predicting severe flooding and landslides across Kyushu, Japan’s southernmost main island.
Authorities labelled the situation in Kyushu’s Oita prefecture as “life-threatening,” urging an additional 57,000 people to evacuate and take “life-saving actions” as the typhoon approached. Shanshan, with wind speeds of up to 185 kph (115 mph), made landfall near Kagoshima and is currently moving slowly northward.
In Miyazaki, close to the landfall site, videos showed toppled electricity pylons and debris scattered across roads. Although Shanshan weakened before landfall, its slow movement has resulted in substantial rainfall, with some areas already receiving up to 0.5 metres (20 inches) of rain. Forecasters warn that rainfall could reach up to 1 metre (40 inches) in isolated regions.
The storm has left more than 255,000 households on Kyushu without power, and over 400 flights have been cancelled by Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways in anticipation of the storm. Shanshan is expected to weaken to a tropical storm by Thursday evening as it moves eastward through Kyushu, continuing to pose a significant rainfall threat as it slowly crosses into central Japan over the weekend.
