Typhoon Halong triggers evacuation orders in Japan
More than one million people have been told to evacuate their homes as a powerful typhoon hit south-west Japan.
Typhoon Halong made landfall near Aki, Kochi prefecture, at around 06:00 (21:00 GMT Saturday), the Japan Meteorological Agency said.
Torrential rain in Mie prefecture, west of Tokyo, was already "unprecedented" and could trigger landslides or major floods, the agency warned.
One person has been killed and more than 30 injured, broadcaster NHK said.
Winds of up to 180km/h (110mph) are moving slowly north-east.
TV footage showed high waves hitting breakwaters and muddy torrents roaring down a swollen river.
