According to The Japan Times, two people died in Okinawa Prefecture due to the effects of the typhoon. There are also 62 casualties reported so far. According to Okinawa Electric Power, 184,000 homes remain without power. In addition, transport links were disrupted in the prefecture, flights were canceled, and ferries were suspended. The typhoon then left Okinawa and moved into the East China Sea, heading towards China. But then something strange happened... Before reaching the territory of China, the typhoon turned back and, gaining strength, returns to Okinawa. Khanun is forecast to head north towards Japan’s main islands after a sudden, sharp turn to the east. On the map, you can see the strange trajectory of the typhoon. An asterisk marks the current position. Typhoons moving from west to east are not unusual, but forecasters said Khanun was different. “I always follow the movement of storms, but the way this storm behaves is very unusual,“ said Miho Oda, forecaster for the Japan Meteorological Association. “Summer typhoons move in a very complex way, but even so, this one is very strange.“ “The fact that the storm is returning almost the same way it came is really unusual.“ Another unusual feature of this typhoon is that it is predicted to intensify as it moves north towards Japan, where cooler sea waters tend to dampen storms. Mie University professor Yoshihiro Tachibana, who called Hanun “anomalous,“ said changes in westerly winds and warm waters kept the storm strong and intensified.
