PrayForJapan: Powerful Typhoon Hagibis approaches Honshu main island, turning sky eerie shade of purple
According to the Japan Meteorological Agency , the center of Hagibis—which means"speed" in the Philippine language, Tagalog—is located around 200 miles southwest of the tiny island of Hachiojima.
"A 49-year-old man was found in a toppled mini truck and sent to hospital but was confirmed dead," Hiroki Yashiro, a spokesman from the Ichihara Fire Department, in Chiba—a prefecture east of Tokyo—said on Saturday morning. Authorities are warning of the potential for flooding and landslides, urging around 1.64 million people to evacuate their homes. Among the areas advised to evacuate are some of the most heavy populated areas of Greater Tokyo, Japanese broadcaster NHK reported.
