  • Japan is going through a hard time and in terms of nature really bad, recently it has been attacked by a dangerous earthquake and tsunami which claimed almost more than 16,000 deaths, and 5,900 injured and 4,056 people were missing.

    This time it’s again panic moments for Japan after a typhoon was expected to hit the area on Tuesday, the National officials have ordered 80,000 residents to evacuate and another 1 million people were urged to evacuate Nagoya, a city in central Japan with the fear of life loss.

    After alerting the people at expected danger localities 60 percent of the people have fled before Tuesday and the remaining were expected to leave in the evening as the storm came closer. It’s becoming unstable as the typhoon Roke was packing winds of 185 KPH (115 mph) and was forecasted to make landfall with heavy rain some time Wednesday. Sources also stated that the storm was expected to hit south of Osaka and could drench some areas with about 250 mm (10 inches) of rain.

    The officials stated there were two regions in Nagoya in which people were asked to evacuate due to the threat of flooding from the Shonai River.
