Typhoon Wipha brings storm to Tokyo, vicinity

Typhoon Wipha brought strong winds and heavy rain to Tokyo and its vicinity early Wednesday morning as it neared eastern Japan, halting part of the transportation network in the metropolitan area.

On Izu Oshima Island in the Pacific about 120 kilometers south of Tokyo, three bodies were found after the island registered record rainfall of 122.5 millimeters per hour, while around 20 people remained unaccounted for after several houses collapsed, according to local authorities and police.

In Machida, Tokyo, a woman believed to be in her 40s died after being swept away by a swollen river, according to the police.
