Ion Typhoon

Japanese: アイオン台風 - あいおんたいふう
Ion Typhoon

A typhoon that caused wind and flood damage in the Kanto, Koshin and Tohoku regions from September 15 to 17, 1948. It moved northeast off the coast of Tokaido while maintaining its strength, brushing the southern tip of the Izu Peninsula and making landfall on the Boso Peninsula at around midnight on the 17th, then moved from Kashima Nada to the coast of Sanriku. Strong winds were felt near the center of the typhoon, and frontal activity in front of the typhoon became active, causing the Kitakami River and its tributaries to overflow in the Tohoku region, resulting in over 700 deaths and missing. Damage was particularly severe in the mountain tsunami in Ichinoseki and floods in Miyako, with 838 deaths and missing nationwide. The name Ione comes from the fact that after World War II, the Allied Meteorological Corps gave female names with the initials ABC... to typhoons in the order in which they occurred.

Japanese:

1948年(昭和23)9月15~17日に関東、甲信および東北地方に風水害をもたらした台風。強い勢力を保ったまま東海道沖を北東進し、伊豆半島南端をかすめて17日0時過ぎ房総半島に上陸し、その後鹿島灘(かしまなだ)から三陸沖へ進んだ。台風の中心付近では風が強く、台風前面の前線活動が活発になり、東北地方では、北上川(きたかみがわ)やその支流が氾濫(はんらん)して死者・行方不明者が700人を超えた。とくに、一関(いちのせき)の山津波、宮古(みやこ)の洪水などで被害が著しく、全国では死者・行方不明者838人であった。アイオンIoneの名称の由来は、第二次世界大戦後に連合軍気象隊が台風の発生順序に従ってABC……の頭文字をもつ女性名を順次つけていったことによる。
