Japan: Typhoon Wipha Kills At Least 17 
---------------------------------------


 
In Japan, at least 17 people are dead after a powerful typhoon whipped
the eastern coast. It was the strongest typhoon to hit the area in 10
years. Typhoon Wipha raised fears about further damage to the embattled
Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, which has been plagued by
radioactive leaks since it was damaged by an earthquake and tsunami in
2011.
