Typhoon leaves 25 dead as Japan launches major rescueA residential area flooded by the Chikuma river caused by Typhoon Hagibis is seen in Nagano, central Japan, on Sunday. Several train service in the Tokyo area resumed early morning, although others were undergoing safety checks and were expected to restart later Sunday. The typhoon disrupted a three-day weekend in Japan that includes Sports Day on Monday. The authorities had repeatedly warned Hagibis was on par with a typhoon that hit the Tokyo region in 1958. The typhoon six decades ago had left more than 1,200 people dead and half a million houses flooded.
