Typhoon Saudel has impacted the southwestern islands of Japan, reaching wind speeds of 144 kilometers per hour and releasing over 23 centimeters of rainfall in the Amami area within a single day. The storm has caused power outages for more than 30,000 residences in Kagoshima Prefecture. Approximately 150 flights at Naha Airport in Okinawa were canceled, and two individuals sustained injuries, one of whom was knocked down by fierce winds. The typhoon is currently moving westward across the East China Sea, posing a threat to the heavily populated Zhejiang and Fujian regions, where forecasters in China are predicting heavy rainfall and potential flooding as Saudel remains a formidable storm.
