Japan has already ordered 80,000 people to evacuate and advised another 1 million due to the flooding of two major rivers expected and the mudslides from the rain. Winds from this storm are currently over 130 mph classifying it as a category 4 storm however the storm is expected to get stronger. Roke is expected to hit Japan with 20 inches of rain, again hitting an area that has already been devastated by large disasters this year.
