Tokyo | Japan is bracing for a powerful and potentially destructive super typhoon, with the Japan Meteorological Agency issuing a special typhoon warning on Saturday for Kagoshima prefecture on Kyushu, the southernmost of the country’s main islands.
The warning came after the weather agency earlier in the day urged residents to evacuate parts of Kyushu, ahead of the typhoon Nanmadol, expected to bring up to 50cm of rain when it makes landfall on Sunday.
