At least two people are dead after a powerful typhoon hit Japan this week, covering parts of the country with record amounts of rain and putting more than 9 million people under evacuation orders.
Typhoon Nanmadol, one of the most powerful storms Japan has ever seen, made landfall on Sunday evening with winds up to 110 miles per hour (177 kilometers per hour) near the city of Kagoshima on Kyushu Island in the country’s southwest. The storm moved onto Honshu, Japan’s largest and most populated island, on Monday.
