A large tree is swayed precariously by strong winds, as if about to break.
Typhoon Nanmadol, the fourteenth typhoon with strong winds and torrential rains, landed in Japan.
Daily rainfall exceeded 500mm at eight observation points in the Kyushu region of southwest Japan, and 24-hour rainfall at seven locations set a new record for the highest in observation history.
In Miyazaki prefecture, where it rained the most, 24-hour rainfall recorded 725.5 mm.
It rained for a month and a half and fell in just one day.
Thirty-three rivers exceeded the flood risk level, and seven of them were identified as being at high risk of collapsing or flooding their levees.
The impact of strong winds is also significant.
In Yakushima, Kagoshima prefecture, the maximum instantaneous wind speed of more than 50 m / s was observed.
At the construction site, a crane was knocked down by strong winds and the outer wall of the four-story building collapsed.
Rail traffic, including the Shinkansen, was paralyzed, mainly in Kyushu, and a large number of flights were also canceled.
“Initially, I had planned to fly back to Nagoya (from Kumamoto), but all flights were canceled, so I had to get back on the Shinkansen train.”
In the process of preparing for a typhoon, the captain of a small pleasure craft is found dead and casualties are also on the rise.
An evacuation warning was issued to approximately 9.55 million people due to the issuance of a typhoon warning and 300,000 families experienced power outages.
The Japanese government increased its supervisory position by updating the Prime Minister’s Office Liaison Office to the Government Office’s Countermeasures Office.
“It appears that the highest level of alert is needed to prepare not only for strong winds, high waves and tsunamis, but also for landslides, floods and river floods.”
The Japanese Meteorological Agency has issued a special warning of pouring rain and urged people not to delay their alert position by saying that heavy rain is falling that has never been experienced.
