TOKYO, Sept. 6 (Xinhuanet) -- Typhoon Nabi is expected to land on Japan's southern provinces Tuesday afternoon, prompting evacuation advice to tens of thousands of residents.

    The Japan Meteorological Agency has alarmed the residents in Kyushu and the Shikoku and Chugoku regions in southern Japan that the large scale and slow speed of the gale would bring longer strong winds and heavy rain.

    In Okayama Prefecture, a 37-year-old woman was found dead after falling from the deck of a ferry into waters early Tuesday when strong wind shook the vessel just before it arrived at the port, Kyodo News reported.

    In addition, four other people were missing in the storm, and 15 got injured, the report said.

    A total of about 110,000 residents have been told to evacuate.

    The year's 14th typhoon disrupted air, land and sea transport services. Airlines canceled more than 530 flights, mostly to or from Kyushu. Japan Railway group companies suspended all train services in Kyushu and some bullet train and local train services in western Japan. Ferry services to and from the Kyushu area were also canceled Tuesday. Enditem
