Typhoon Hagibis

The government says the death toll from Typhoon Hagibis, which struck over the weekend, is at least 74. It brought record rainfall to parts of the country and forced tens of thousands into shelters.

More than 50 people are dead in the aftermath of Typhoon Hagibis, which dropped extreme amounts of rain over the weekend and caused catastrophic flooding in residential areas.

The typhoon, which has now passed to the northeast of Tokyo, was the largest to hit Japan in 61 years, since the 1958 Kanogawa Typhoon that killed more than 1,200 people.

The typhoon could make landfall on the main Japanese island of Honshu on Saturday, hitting the capital with up to 2 feet of rain, storm surge and winds up to 135 mph.
