In twelve dreadful hours, Typhoon Ida swept clear up the northern half of Honshu, Japan's biggest and richest island. The torrential rains caused widespread floods and some 1,900 landslides, left half a million homeless. In Tokyo the Emperor's 300 cherished carp were flushed out of the Imperial Palace moat into surrounding streets.
