Japan Meteorological Agency predicted that typhoon Khanun will again make its way towards the archipelago. It was earlier heading towards mainland China.

Typhoon Khanun spares China, makes U-turn towards Japan

Typhoon Khanun to make U-turn towards Japan, spare China

Japan Meteorological Agency predicted that typhoon Khanun will again make its way towards the archipelago. It was earlier heading towards mainland China.

The typhoon that damaged homes and knocked out power on Okinawa and other Japanese islands this week was slowly moving west Thursday but is forecast to make a U-turn and dump even more rain on the archipelago.
Typhoon Khanun, now in the waters between China and Japan's southwestern islands, is expected to slow to nearly stationary movement before a weakening high-pressure system nearby allows it to turn east Friday, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.
That forecast would spare China, where rain from an earlier typhoon caused deadly flooding and damage this week around the capital, Beijing.
Khanun, which means jackfruit in Thai, had sustained surface winds of 162 kph (100 mph) with higher gusts Thursday morning.
Up to 20 centimeters (7.8 inches) of rainfall were expected in the Okinawa region by midday Friday, JMA said.
The storm has injured 41 people, three of them seriously, according to the Okinawa prefectural government.
A 90-year-old man was found under a collapsed garage in Ogimi village, and his death is being investigated as possibly caused by the typhoon's high winds.
The storm at one point left nearly 220,000 homes, or about 30%, of those in Okinawa, without power, according to the Okinawa Electric Power Company.
Also, some 7,000 homes on Amami, an island northeast of the Okinawan islands and part of Kagoshima prefecture, were without power, according to the Economy and Industry Ministry.
Most were still without power Thursday as the storm hampered restoration work. Hospitals that lost power were only receiving emergency cases.
Wind warnings for the main Okinawa Island were lifted Thursday, though moderate winds and rain were affecting the island.
Public transit systems that closed during the storm resumed operations, and some flights in and out of the Naha airport are expected to resume later Thursday.

Typhoon Noru blew out of the northern Philippines on Monday, leaving five rescuers dead, causing floods and power outages and forcing officials to suspend classes and government work in the capital and outlying provinces.
The most powerful typhoon to hit the country this year slammed into the coast in Burdeos town in Quezon province before nightfall on Sunday then weakened as it barrelled overnight across the main Luzon region, where thousands of people were moved to emergency shelters, some forcibly, officials said.
Governor Daniel Fernando of Bulacan province, north of Manila, said five rescuers, who were using a boat to help residents trapped in floodwaters, were hit by a collapsed wall then apparently drowned in the rampaging waters.
“They were living heroes who were helping save the lives of our countrymen amid this calamity,” Fernando told DZMM radio network. “This is really very sad.” On Polillo island in northeastern Quezon province, a man was injured after falling off the roof of his house, officials said.
More than 17,000 people were moved to emergency shelters from high-risk communities prone to tidal surges, flooding and landslides in Quezon alone, officials said.
More than 3,000 people were evacuated to safety in Metropolitan Manila, which was lashed by fierce wind and rain overnight. Classes and government work were suspended Monday in the capital and outlying provinces as a precaution although the morning skies were sunny.
In 2013, Typhoon Haiyan, one of the strongest recorded tropical cyclones in the world, left more than 7,300 people dead or missing, flattened entire villages, swept ships inland and displaced more than 5 million in the central Philippines — well to the south of Noru's path.

Vietnam was evacuating over 800,000 people as powerful Typhoon Noru is speeding up toward the country's central region on Tuesday, state media reported.
People living near the coast where the typhoon is expected to hit have been ordered to take refuge in safe places by Tuesday evening, national television VTV said.
Schools were closed and public events cancelled.
In Da Nang and Quang Nam province, a curfew will be enabled on Tuesday evening. People are forbidden to go out except for those carrying official duties, local TV said.
Flights landing and departing from five airports in the region were cancelled while train services in the area were halted until after the typhoon.
The weather agency forecasts the typhoon can pack winds up to 180 kilometres per hour (111 miles per hour) when it reaches Vietnam in the early hours of Wednesday.
Vietnam is prone to the severe weather with dozens of tropical storms and typhoons hitting its coast every year.

Nanmadol has sustained winds blowing at 108 kilometers per hour (67 mph) and gusts up to 162 kilometers (100 miles) per hour, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.
Tens of thousands of people spent the night at gymnasiums and other facilities in a precautionary evacuation of vulnerable homes.
More than 60 people were injured, including those who fell down in the rain or were hit by shards of glass, according to Japanese media reports.
Torrential winds smashed signboards. A construction crane snapped and a window at a pachinko parlour was shattered in Kagoshima city, southwestern Japan.
Bullet trains and airlines suspended service. Warnings were issued about landslides and swelling rivers. Convenience store chains and delivery services temporarily shuttered in southwestern Japan, while some highways were closed and people had some problems with cell phone connections.
