Typhoons on the Rise: Japan's Okinawa and China Face the Fury of Dolphin The western Pacific has been gripped by a stormy season, bringing with it a powerful typhoon that is wreaking havoc in its path.
Typhoon Dolphin made landfall in Japan's Okinawa island, leaving thousands without power and five people injured before setting its sights on China's eastern coast.
Okinawa, known for its natural beauty, was the hardest hit by the storm. With winds reaching 162km/h, Dolphin cut a swath through the region, toppling trees and overturning cars.
