At least 2 people were killed by super typhoon attacks in Japan

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 19th. The super typhoon "Nanma Metropolis" landed on the evening of the 18th and swept most of the southwestern Japan and most regions on the 19th. As of the morning of the 19th, "Nanma" has caused at least 69 people to be injured, and there are two other reports suspected of being killed by typhoons.

The Japan Meteorological Agency issued a special alert to Miyazaki Prefecture in Kyushu area. Within 48 hours of the morning of the 19th, the rainfall of Meixiang Town in the county reached 800 millimeters, which was 1.5 times the average precipitation in September of the previous year. The largest instantaneous wind speed observed on the 19th was 47.4 meters per second, and appeared in the Central City of Si Kingdom in Ehime County.

Affected by typhoons, as of 9 am on the 19th, there were more than 290,000 households in Kyushu, Japan; multiple rivers exceeded the alert water level; 14 counties issued a shelter notice, involving more than 9.7 million people. "Nanma Metropolis" is currently moving northeast, and it is expected to affect most of the state on the 20th.

According to the Japanese Broadcasting Association (NHK) website, as of the noon on the 19th, the typhoon caused at least 69 people to be injured. According to Kyodo News, a 60 -year -old man in central Fukuoka Prefecture fell on the road on the 19th and died when he was discovered. A flooded car was found in a farmland in Miyazaki County, and the man was about 60 years old. A house in Sanbocho, the county was buried in the sandy sand, and a man lost contact.

The Japanese Meteorological Agency issued a special alert to Kagoshima Prefecture on the 17th. Early warnings at this level are usually for decades of super typhoons. According to the NHK website, this was the first time that the Meeting Agency has introduced a special alert in the area outside Okinawa after the introduction of this mechanism in 2013.

"Nanma Du" is powerful and has a wide range of influence. According to Heilianglong, the head of the forecast department of the Japanese Meteorological Agency, the power of typhoon has increased at a surprising speed: at 3 am on the 16th, the central air pressure is 965 hundred Pache, and the maximum wind speed is 35 meters per second. It has been as low as 910 Baipa, and the maximum wind speed reaches 55 meters per second. The lower the air pressure in the typhoon, the greater the power.

"This is only a typhoon that has only seen in the book." Hei Liang said.

The minimum air pressure in Japan's recorded typhoons appeared in September 1961, 925 hundred Pache. At that time, the largest instantaneous wind speed observed in Osaka was 50.6 meters per second, and about 200 people died or disappeared in that typhoon. In September 1959, the typhoon center of the typhoon near Ise Bay was 929 hundred Pache. The typhoon caused more than 5,000 people to die or disappear. It was the worst typhoon disaster in Japan.

According to the analysis of Pingmu and Jiu Jiu, a professor of meteorological professors at Nagoya University, due to the influence of global warming and elevated surface temperature of the sea water, typhoons can add more water vapor to get greater energy. In the future, super typhoons visit Japan. The number of times may increase. (Liu Xiuling)
