Typhoon Dujuan kills two in Japan, causes travel chaos near Tokyo
Storm is moving northeast away from Japan's eastern coast into the Pacific, leaving a path of destruction behind.
A powerful storm has triggered evacuation advisories for more than 1.6 million people, causing widespread travel chaos, flooding and landslides near Tokyo.
On Monday, Typhoon Dujuan packed wind speeds of about 144 kilometres (89 miles) per hour as it moved 130km (80 miles) south of Katsuura, near the Japanese capital, cutting power to thousands of households.
By early Tuesday, the storm had shifted away from the coast and was heading northeast out to sea towards the Aleutian Islands, with slightly diminished winds, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) said.
The JMA warned on Sunday that rain and winds were expected to intensify even before the typhoon’s arrival.
