At least person was killed and scores of others were injured as Typhoon Jelawat slammed into the Japanese archipelago, officials said. The Japanese Meteorological Agency said the powerful typhoon hammered Okinawa, killing a 29-year-old fisherman who was washed away by high seas. The storm left more than 100 people dozens injured, including an Australian tourist struck by a tree, Kyodo News reported. The storm, which was moving northeast along the western coast of Japan, made landfall Sunday night on Japan's main island of Honshu. The city of Hachioji, near Tokyo, recorded winds of 85 mph. Kyodo said concerns of flooding prompted the central Japan city of Nagoya to issue an evacuation advisory for 57,000 people. Evacuations were also advised in Miyagi prefecture in northeastern Japan. The storm knocked out power to 96,000 households in Okinawa, officials said.
