Japan reports 4 injuries and 120 canceled flights amid hurricanes
Japan announced that four people have been injured, and 120 flights to and from Okinawa and southern Kagoshima have been canceled, amid warnings of floods and landslides due to the approaching two tropical storms. Although hurricane "Mekila" has been downgraded from a cyclone, it still carries winds at 108 kilometers per hour and is causing heavy rainfall, threatening wide areas of the country, including Tokyo and Osaka. The weather has been turbulent, with overlapping storms leading to the appearance of the "Fujiyama effect," which has made forecasting more difficult. Authorities have advised over a million people to evacuate due to the risk of flooding and landslides. Additionally, airlines have suspended operations, and some factories and infrastructure have been closed, with the transportation and energy sectors being heavily impacted.
