At least three people in Japan have been killed, after Typhoon Lan slammed into the island on Monday.
Tens of thousands of people have also been forced to evacuate, after what was previously a fierce Category 4 storm made landfall in the Shizuoka prefecture, which lies to the south-west of Tokyo.
The country experienced winds of up to 198km/h (123mph), according to Japan's official weather agency.

Astronaut Paolo Nespoli, who was onboard the Cupola module of the International Space Station, had also hours before tweeted pictures of Typhoon Lan as seen from space, as it made its way towards Japan.
The typhoon has weakened to a category 2 storm before making landfall, and was moving northeast of Tokyo on Monday afternoon.
It is expected to become a tropical depression by Tuesday.
