Hundreds of flights cancelled across East Asia as Typhoon Champi roars toward Taiwan
Over 3,600 households in Okinawa, Japan, are without power due to a typhoon, with Okinawa Electric Power conducting remote restoration work because strong rain and wind make outdoor work dangerous. Tokyo correspondent Kurumi Mori reports from cloudy Tokyo, where four straight rainy days are forecast starting tomorrow. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi warned people on X to exercise extreme caution against storm-force winds, high waves, sediment disasters, storm surges, flooding in low-lying areas, and rising rivers in Okinawa and Amami through tomorrow. Many replied thanking her for social media updates, as fewer people watch TV or read newspapers.
