A powerful typhoon barreled across western Japan on Tuesday, reportedly killing at least six people and causing considerable damage, as well as widespread travel chaos.

Typhoon Jebi was briefly the strongest storm to hit Japan since 1993 with wind gusts of up to 216 km/h (135 mph).

The storm made landfall on the southwestern island of Shikoku around noon, and then again on the country’s main island of Honshu, near the city of Kobe. By evening it was heading into the Sea of Japan.

NHK national television said the dead included one elderly man who fell from his apartment in the city of Osaka, the worst hit area, and another man buried under a collapsed warehouse in Shiga prefecture.

The broadcaster said that the storm also left over 160 people with minor injuries, and cut power to around 1.6 million.
