As of 1500 UTC (11am EDT/Boston time) on August 16, Typhoon Ampil was located roughly 100 miles due east of Tokyo, with maximum 10-minute sustained winds of 85 knots (~98 mph) and a minimum central pressure of 950 mb, per the Japan Meteorological Agency. Ampil has made its easterly turn and the center of the storm stayed off the coast of Japan as it made its closest approach over the past several hours. Tropical storm force wind gusts were reported at Narita Airport in Tokyo earlier. Hundreds of flights have been cancelled as a result, impacting at least 100,000 passengers planning travel to or from Japan. Tokaido Shinkansen bullet train services between Tokyo and Nagoya were also cancelled on Friday. Two injuries and minor damage, including downed power lines and flooded roads, have been reported, though no reports of major damage have yet been observed.
