Tokyo ? Heavy rain and strong winds lashed Tokyo today as a typhoon neared the capital after killing one person, injuring at least 35 and cutting power to tens of thousands of homes.

Typhoon Fitow made landfall in Odawara in Kanagawa prefecture just south of Tokyo early today, public broadcaster NHK said. It was packing winds of up to 78 mph Thursday evening, according to the Meteorological Agency.

In Tokyo, train service was disrupted and pedestrians struggled to hold onto umbrellas.

The typhoon, moving at only 12 mph, was forecast to hit Tokyo and its vicinity later today and bring up to 14 inches of rain. Warnings were issued for possible landslides and flooding from Fitow, named for a flower in Micronesia.

A 76-year-old man was killed in Karuizawa, a resort town in central Japan, after suffering a head injury by a fallen tree, Kyodo News agency said.
