This is the strongest typhoon in Japan in 25 years.
Typhoon Jebi hitting Kansai causes serious damages to the city. The electricity of more than 1.6 million households in many counties of Kansai, which is centered on Osaka, has been cut off.
In Nishinomiya, in Hyogo Prefecture, Jebi pushed the seawater ashore, causing short-circuit and a fire of a second-hand-car parking lot. A Hundred of vehicles were caught in the fire, and firefighters rushed to the scene to put out the fire.
The strong wind blows the electricity wires and poles to collapse while power companies in Kansai said that at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, 920,000 households in Osaka and Wakayama had power outages, 194,000 in Mie, 180,000 in Hyogo, 150,000 in Kyoto and Fukui, 114,000 in Shiga, and 51,000 in Nara.
