Japan issues highest alert over typhoon Neoguri TOKYO (AFP) - Japan was bracing on Tuesday for one of its worst storms in over a decade as typhoon Neoguri barreled towards the southern Okinawa island chain, with 55,000 people urged to evacuate as the weather agency issued its highest alert. The top-level warning means a threat to life, as well as the risk of massive damage from torrential rains and gusts of up to 250kmh. The Japan Meteorological Agency issued the alert for Okinawa’s main island, home to around 1.2 million people, as well as the outlying Miyako islands.
