Up to 33 people are dead after a typhoon made landfall south of Tokyo, battering central and northern Japan with torrents of rain and powerful gusts of wind.
Rescuers in Japan are continuing to help people in the aftermath of a ferocious typhoon, as the death toll from the storm climbed to as high as 33.
The casualty numbers continue to grow, and the Kyodo report is considerably higher than what the government spokesman gave earlier in the day. He says damage to housing from the flooding is extensive but promised recovery is on its way. Some 376,000 homes are without electricity, and 14,000 homes lack running water.
