The 14th Pacific Typhoon this season, and by far the largest to hit Japan, reached record rainfall, JMA adds, and warns that rivers can overflow because of heavy rainfall.
Typhoon caused damage south of the island, and bus stations were destroyed and glass broke. Railway and air transport was paralyzed, and the famous purchase chain Seven-Eleven temporarily closed about 950 stores. Authorities have issued a separate “warning” due to the rise of the typhoon, and at least four million people have been warned to evacuate.

Public Broadcasting The NHK, which collects information from local authorities, reports that more than seven million people have been advised to take refuge in strong objects. The storm is projected to return east and cross Japan's main island of Honshu before reaching the sea by Wednesday.
Heavy rain also fell in Tokyo, and the Tozai subway was flooded and traffic stopped. This typhoon could result in worse than the Jewish typhoon, which killed 14 people in 2018 and the Tagbis, which caused power cuts in almost the entire country in 2019.
Kyushu is the southernmost Japanese island of about 13 million people. Japan is well - prepared for such severe storms, but scientists claim that they are becoming stronger and more destructive because of climate change.
