Japan orders evacuations for nearly 260,000 as Typhoon Dolphin nears Kyushu and Okinawa
Hundreds of thousands of residents in southwestern Japan were ordered to evacuate on Friday as Typhoon Dolphin approached, bringing violent winds, heavy rain and high waves. The Japan Meteorological Agency reported the Category 1 typhoon had maximum sustained winds of 144 kph with gusts up to 198 kph, nearing a chain of islands between the Kyushu region and Okinawa Prefecture .
Authorities issued evacuation orders for nearly 260,000 people in Kagoshima and Okinawa prefectures, while more than 500 flights were canceled. Toyota, the Japanese automotive manufacturer, suspended operations at nine factories on Friday .
The JMA warned the typhoon could maintain its strength as it neared Okinawa, raising the risk of structural damage or collapse. A linear rain band could develop, increasing the likelihood of flooding, the agency said .
Strong winds from the storm also enveloped much of southern Kyushu, including Kumamoto Prefecture, which is still recovering from a magnitude 7.1 earthquake last week. About 6,700 residents remain in evacuation centers after many homes collapsed, according to Reuters .
The JMA additionally cautioned about heatstroke risks, with temperatures expected to reach 36 degrees Celsius in some areas .
