A powerful typhoon hurtled towards Japan Saturday july 28,2018, with western areas recently devastated by floods and landslides in the storm's cross-hairs.
Typhoon Jongdari, packing winds of up to 180 kilometres (110 miles) an hour, is forecast to make landfall on the country's main island on Saturday night July 28,2018 or early Sunday July 29,2018, according to Japan's Meteorological Agency.
The storm, currently some 400 kilometres southeast of Tokyo, is expected to barrel towards the western Chugoku region Sunday, where record rainfall earlier this month unleashed flooding and landslides, killing around 220 people.
Authorities are warning of heavy rain, landslides, strong winds and high waves, and urging people to consider early evacuation.
