Typhoon Jebi has been the strongest to hit Japan in 25 years. It has caused the closure of one of Japans airports causing millions of flights to be canceled. It has been reported that 6 people have died in the wreckage and it is estimated that 160 have been injured. The typhoon landed in Tokushima prefecture just this Tuesday afternoon. The strong winds caused a tanker boat to ram into a bridge that connected Kansai airport to the mainland.
It has been reported that 11 crew members were on the ship but no one has been injured. Since Japan is 12 hours ahead of the United States the bridge is now open and people have now been allowed to fly. The Kansai airport has been flooded with sand because of the Typhoon. Due to the intense winds of the Typhoon 53 cities have been issued non-compulsory evacuation orders. Around 14,000 residents have been evacuated to town halls or school gyms.
