Rescue efforts begin after typhoon causes flooding in Japan.
Rescue efforts for people stranded in flooded areas were in full force Sunday, after a powerful typhoon dashed heavy rainfall and winds through a widespread area of Japan, including Tokyo.The typhoon left four people dead, 17 missing and more than 100 people injured, according to public broadcaster NHK. The numbers were growing, underlining the damage from Hagibis, which means"speed" in the Philippine language of Tagalog.
Some train service in the Tokyo area, much of which had halted, resumed from early morning, although others were undergoing safety checks and were expected to start later in the day. About 17,000 police and military troops had been standing ready for rescue operations, under government orders.
