Tokyo, 2 October: Powerful Typhoon Higos slammed into the Kanto region late Tuesday, [1 October] leaving two persons dead, one missing and 18 others injured and a swathe of destruction.

The typhoon hit land at the Miura Peninsula in Kanagawa Prefecture around 8.00 p.m., sweeping past the industrial city of Kawasaki about 30 minutes later.

Police said a 53-year-old security guard in Yokohama was killed when he was hit by a window that fell from the ninth floor of a building. Another person in Kanagawa was missing.

One 49-year-old man in Sahara, Chiba Prefecture was electrocuted Tuesday night when he touched a severed electric cable, according to Chiba prefectural police.
