Typhoon Jebi

Typhoon Jebi left a trail of destruction in the cities of Kobe, Kyoto and Osaka, killing 11 people and injuring hundreds more.

The toll in the most powerful typhoon to hit Japan in a quarter century rose Wednesday to nine, with thousands stranded at a major airport because of storm damage.

Typhoon Jebi made landfall in western Japan on Tuesday, believed to be the strongest tropical cyclone to come ashore in Japan in 25 years. The storm has paralyzed Japan's second-largest population center, with flights and trains canceled across the region and companies forced to temporarily close their plants.

The strongest typhoon to hit Japan in 25 years made landfall Tuesday, the country's weather agency said, bringing violent winds and heavy rainfall that prompted evacuation warnings.

Japan on Sunday braced for a "very strong" typhoon, with authorities warning of high waves, floods and landslides, including in areas hit by deadly flooding earlier this year.
