As Typhoon Dujuan approaches Japan, millions have been urged to evacuate, with over 1.9 million people currently under evacuation orders. The typhoon has already caused deadly floods and landslide warnings, particularly affecting the Tokyo area where heavy rain has led to travel chaos and at least two reported deaths. Hundreds of flights have been canceled, and warnings of landslides and flooding continue as Dujuan moves closely to the Kanto region.
