A strong tropical storm is lashing parts of Japan and disrupting holiday travelTOKYO (AP) — A strong tropical storm lashed central and western Japan with heavy rain and high winds Tuesday, causing flooding and power blackouts and paralyzing air and ground transportation while many people were traveling for a Buddhist holiday week. The storm weakened from Typhoon Lan early in the morning and made landfall near Cape Shionomisaki in the central prefecture of Wakayama, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency. On Tuesday afternoon, it was just south of Fukuchiyama city and had sustained winds of up to 90 kph (55 mph) as it headed north. It was then expected to veer east toward Hokkaido over waters between Japan and the Korean Peninsula, the JMA said. www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/a-strong-tropical-storm-is-lashing-parts-of-japan-and-disrupting-holiday-travel/ar-AA1fi0Te?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=3d01dd489b5b4f8ba7cb5bd819d35efc&ei=29
