Emergency Warnings and Severe Weather Alerts
The Japan Meteorological Agency issued a rare emergency warning, highlighting the storm's potential to cause severe flooding and landslides throughout Kyushu, the southernmost of Japan’s main islands. Record rainfall was predicted, leading to widespread concerns about the impact on communities already in the storm's path.
Authorities responded by issuing their highest typhoon alert, warning that a "life-threatening situation" was imminent in certain areas. Specifically, 57,000 residents of Oita prefecture were urged to take immediate action. A Level 4 evacuation advisory, the second-highest alert level, was put in place for all of Kyushu, affecting a staggering 3.7 million people.
Disruption to Daily Life: Flights Canceled, Factories Closed
The storm’s effects were felt far beyond the immediate path of Typhoon Shanshan. Hundreds of flights were canceled, and bullet train services were suspended, disrupting travel across the region. Major companies, including automotive giants Toyota, Honda, Mazda, and Nissan, were forced to shut down operations at their factories due to safety concerns.
Rising Toll: Injuries, Missing Persons, and Fatalities
As of Thursday morning, reports indicated that one person was missing, and dozens had been injured across Kyushu. Earlier in the week, the storm's destructive power had already claimed three lives in a landslide triggered by heavy rain and strong winds.
