Tokyo Electric Power Co. crews prepared for strong winds and heavy rains at its wrecked Fukushima atomic plant, as the storm known as Neoguri drifted north after grazing Tokyo overnight.
The storm was skirting Japan’s eastern coast at about 45 kilometers (28 miles) an hour and could bring up to 20 millimeters (0.8 inches) of rain per hour to parts of Fukushima prefecture by early this afternoon, the Japan Meteorological Agency said on its website. The agency downgraded Neoguri from tropical storm to extratropical cyclone today.
