Japan braces for third typhoon in a week

A pair of typhoons in as many days hit Japan this weekend, leaving one person dead and 11 more injured, closing the island nation’s largest airport, dumping rain and pounding wind on the country.

Typhoons Mindulle and Kompasu hit Japan within 48 hours of each other, and forecasters predict that a third storm, Lionrock, may hit the island nation later this week, the CNN reported.
