Typhoon Alice, known in the Japan as "昭和33年台風第11号 or 台風11号" [1][2][3] was a Super typhoon that hit Japan in July 1958.[2] Alice also caused damage to Tokyo, the capital of Japan.[4]

Meteorological History

Tropical Storm Alice developed on July 14 in the open western Pacific Ocean. It moved to the northwest and attained typhoon status on the 16th. Alice rapidly intensified on the 19th to a 150-mile-per-hour (240 km/h) super typhoon, and after turning to the northeast it weakened. Alice hit southeastern Japan on the 22nd (It made landfall to Shizuoka Prefecture on 23rd and passed the Kanto region [5]), and became extratropical on the 24th near the Kamchatka Peninsula.[6]

Impact

Due to the typhoon, storm surges occurred in Tokyo Bay,[7] and inundation damage occurred in Shitamachi areas such as Kōtō and Edogawa due to flooding of rivers in Tokyo.[5][8][9] In the area of Kameido [Ja] , the height of the storm surge in Tokyo Bay reached 2.89m (calculating the lowest river level as A.P.0). The number of death by Alice is 26 total, and 14 people were missing.[2]

Other

In 1958, the Kanto region centered on Tokyo was also damaged by Typhoon Helen (1958) [Ja] and Typhoon Ida (Both made landfall to Kanagawa Prefecture). In particular, the damage caused by Ida was devastating, killing more than 1,000 people.[10]
