Typhoon Roke Causes Flooding in Japan, at Least Six People Dead



Typhoon Roke crossed Japan, killing at least six people and causing widespread flooding,
Roke was about 10 kilometers (6 miles) east of Nemuro on Japan's northern island of Hokkaido and about 980 kilometers northeast of Tokyo at 9 a.m. local time, the Japan Meteorological Agency said on its website. The storm's winds weakened to 120 kilometers per hour, just above the threshold for the weakest Category 1 on the five-step Saffir Simpson scale.
