Shanshan, one of Japan's strongest typhoons in decades, brought heavy rain across southern regions on Aug. 30. 🌧️🌬️ Because of that, at least five people lost their lives and dozens were injured. Among the five people found dead was a man whose two-story home collapsed in Tokushima Prefecture. ☹️

Authorities warned millions to relocate to higher grounds because of possible flooding and landslides. ⛰️🌊

Typhoon Shanshan had gusts of up to 252 kilometers (157 miles) per hour as it hit Japan's main southern island of Kyushu early Thursday.
