Japan has been hit by its strongest typhoon in 25 years, with officials warning more than a million people to evacuate their homes.<\/p>\n

Typhoon Jebi made landfall in the west of the country, bringing heavy rain and winds of up to 216km\/h (135 mph).<\/p>\n

In Osaka Bay it swept a tanker into a bridge and in Kyoto parts of the train station roof came down.<\/p>\n

There are no reports of casualties and the storm is expected to weaken as it continues to move across the country.<\/p>\n

he storm made landfall on Shikoku island around noon on Tuesday local time and then moved across Japan’s largest main island of Honshu.<\/p>\n

There are warnings of high waves, flooding and mudslides. It has already left tens of thousands without power and authorities have urged people to move to safety.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of flights, trains and ferries had to be cancelled. Flooding covered the runways at Kansai International Airport in Osaka.<\/p>\n

Universal Studios Japan, a popular amusement park near Osaka, was closed.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe convened an emergency meeting and called on people “to take action to protect your lives, including preparing and evacuating early”.<\/p>\n

Footage from the storm making landfall showed giant waves crashing against the coastline and flying debris.<\/p>\n

Japan’s weather agency has warned of possible landslides, flooding and violent winds, as well as high tides, lightning and tornadoes in the areas affected.<\/p>\n

The country is regularly struck by major storms and this summer has been one of extreme weather.<\/p>\n

In July landslides and massive floods – the worst in decades – killed more than 200 people. That was followed by a record deadly heatwave.<\/p>\n
