Tropical storm, Khanun, struck Japan last week, killing at least two people, and it's not done yet. The powerful typhoon is heading towards Japan once again, then will make direct landfall in South Korea later in the week.
Impacts of Khanun
Last week in Japan, Typhoon Khanun left two dead, nearly 100 people injured, and thousands without power. The storm was originally moving northwest towards China but shifted east toward Japan.
After battering Southern Japan, Khanun is making its way back as of late Tuesday evening local time. The storm was just 120 miles south of Kyushu, Japan's southernmost mainland, and hovering over smaller islands, Kikai, Amami, and Yakushima. This has prompted warnings, flight cancellations, and evacuations as residents prepare to be hit again by the tropical storm.
Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways cancelled over 200 flights on Tuesday, bringing the total number of flights disrupted by the typhoon to 2,715 since last week.
