51mm of heavy rain per hour in Miyazaki Prefecture… Hinnamno approaching Kyushu
220,000 residents in Kyushu evacuated… Temporary closure of some local governments
(Tokyo = Yonhap News) Correspondent Ho-jun Kim and Seong-jin Park = Typhoon Hinnamno, the 11th typhoon, approached northern Kyushu in southwestern Japan on the evening of the 5th, and all of Kyushu is in the strong wind zone.
In particular, the entire Goto Islands in Nagasaki Prefecture entered the storm zone. In Nagasaki Prefecture, a maximum instantaneous wind speed of 32.9 m/s was observed at 10:20 pm.
In Miyazaki Prefecture, Kyushu, 51 mm of torrential rain fell for an hour from 10 pm.
Local public broadcaster NHK reported that “As the typhoon approaches, strong winds are expected to blow over power poles or blow off the exterior walls of buildings in northern Kyushu or Yamaguchi Prefecture, located at the western end of Honshu.”
It is predicted that strong winds with a maximum instantaneous wind speed of 60 m/s in northern Kyushu, 45 m/s in Yamaguchi Prefecture to the west of Honshu and 35 m/s in southern Kyushu will be blown until the 6th.
When the maximum instantaneous wind speed is 30 to 40 m/s, it is difficult to drive a car at normal speed, and it is difficult for a person to stand without holding on to something, and there is a risk of being injured by flying objects. If the speed exceeds 40 m/s, the truck in motion may overturn and the wind can peel off the metal roof coverings of buildings that are not properly secured.
In addition, for 24 hours until noon on the 6th, 300 mm of heavy rain is expected in southern Kyushu and Shikoku, 250 mm in northern Kyushu, and 200 mm in Yamaguchi Prefecture.
Local governments, mainly in Kyushu, have issued evacuation orders for residents, and some local education committees have decided to temporarily close schools in their jurisdiction.
Nine municipalities in Nagasaki prefecture and three municipalities in Saga prefecture issued warning level 4, the fourth highest out of 5 heavy rain warning levels, and ordered a total of 220,000 residents to evacuate.
About 70 municipalities in Kyushu, including Fukuoka Prefecture, Nagasaka Prefecture, Kumamoto Prefecture, Saga Prefecture, Oita Prefecture, and Mayazaki Prefecture, issued a warning level 3 and recommended that the elderly and others evacuate to a safe place.
Alert level 3 is the third highest among five levels, and it is a stage in which the elderly and people with disabilities are advised to start evacuating and other residents to prepare for evacuation.
In addition, the Fukuoka City Board of Education decided to temporarily close 226 municipal schools a day on the 6th for the safety of students. The Education Committee of some local governments in northern Kyushu, including Kitakyushu City, Saga City, and Nagasaki City, also decided to temporarily close schools.
In addition, JR West canceled the Shinkansen service from the first train to the evening of the 6th, connecting Hakata and Hiroshima in northern Kyushu. JR Kyushu decided to suspend service between Hakata and Kumamoto in central Kyushu from the first train on the 6th.
Fukuoka City Subway also decided to suspend operation from the first train on the 6th.
The Japan Meteorological Agency has urged people to be on alert for storms, high waves, tsunamis, landslides, flooding of low-lying areas, and river flooding, and beware of lightning strikes and strong gusts of wind.
In the Kyushu region, the status of damage such as the injured has not yet been confirmed.
Previously, in Okinawa prefecture due to the typhoon, four people were injured as elderly people fell in the wind until the previous day, and 6,340 households in Miyakojima, Taramason, and Ishigaki were cut off.
