Deadly typhoon leaves Japan



A typhoon made its way out of Japan on Thursday after creating landslides and floods that left at least 16 people dead or missing. Most were swept away by over flooded rivers with rains in the southern and central regions. One person died in a landslide in the northern area while two people were swept away in Sendai in the northeast. The typhoon has weakened to a tropical storm and has moved out from the region. The storm dumped 17 inches of water to some areas creating landslides and floods.  The typhoon left 200,000 people without electricity and left train goers stranded.
