Typhoon 10

As one of the strongest typhoons (台風, taifu) in years approaches the southern island of Kyushu and its offshore islands, the most vulnerable are seeking shelter in hospitals, among other facilities. This man explains that he has nowhere else to go. Currently, the typhoon is essentially stalled, with a barometric pressure of 940 and wind speeds equivalent to that of a bullet train. Massive amounts of rainfall are expected in southern Japan, exceeding 1000 millimeters in some areas. That's over 39 inches.
