FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A powerful rainstorm is battering Japan, paralyzing traffic and leaving thousands of homes without electricity. The storm halted commuter trains and grounded more than 500 domestic flights in and around Tokyo.
Two people have been killed and dozens injured by the rainstorm, which lashed Japan’s main island of Honshu Tuesday. Public broadcaster NHK tallied at least 97 people injured across 17 prefectures.
As many as 11,500 households have lost power because of the storm in Toyama and Ishikawa prefectures, Hokuriku Electric Power Co. said in a statement, Bloomberg reports. Many companies and stores closed early.
Winds of up to 140 kilometers per hour were nearly typhoon strength, but the storm was triggered by a low pressure system. It has already dumped up to 6 centimeters (2.4 inches) of rain an hour in central Japan as it crossed from the southwest and is heading for the capital city.
This is the strongest storm to hit Tokyo since 1959.
