Typhoon Pabuk hit land again at the town of Toi in Shizuoka Prefecture on the Izu Peninsula and passed over Tokyo Bay Wednesday afternoon, leaving at least seven people dead as it continued pushing through the archipelago.
The Meteorological Agency said that since most of the storm's rain clouds were positioned in front of the typhoon as it continued on its northeasterly course, heavy rains were centering on the Tohoku region.
A total of seven people in Kanagawa, Aichi, Mie, Ehime, Shiga, Osaka and Tokushima prefectures have died. In addition, a man believed to be homeless and living on the banks of the Tama River, was reported missing in Tokyo.
