"Former Typhoon #Shanshan, now a severe tropical storm, is moving slowly up the southern half of Japan, bringing feet of rain, triggering #landslides and unleashing #tornadoes. The storm is far from over, however, as flooding rain will continue to fall through early next week due to the storm's slow trek across the island nation.

"Shanshan was the equivalent of a Category 1 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale late Thursday night JST after it pushed into #Kyushu, Japan, Thursday afternoon as a Category 2 equivalent. Wind gusts of 115 mph (51.5 m/s) were reported at #Makurazaki early Thursday morning."
