A powerful typhoon today hit the southern part of Japan, accompanied by torrential rains and powerful winds, forcing authorities to cancel several flights and suspend railway traffic.
Typhoon Talim has come from Kyushu, which extends to the southernmost part of Japan's four largest islands, with strong winds reaching up to 162 miles [162 km] an hour, and threats of waves of very high altitude, floods, and possible land slides, according to Japan's meteorological Agency.
At least 644 flights canceled, according to public television NHK, and the local railway company, JR Kyushu Railway, announced that traffic was suspended on the region's main lines.
The typhoon is then expected to be oriented north, accompanied by heavy rains in much of the country, including Tokyo
