The Japan Meteorological Agency urged residents of the Izu islands to remain on high alert against strong winds and heavy rain on Oct. 13 as Typhoon No. 23 lashed the chain south of Tokyo.

According to the agency, Typhoon No. 23 was located about 80 kilometers east of Hachijojima island and moving east-northeast at 30 kph as of 11 a.m. on Oct. 13.
