Typhoon Vongfong, which has weakened enough to lose the “super” in its name, is battering the Japanese island of Okinawa, which is home to thousands of U.S. military personnel. After making a direct hit on the island, the storm is expected to lash the rest of the Ryukyu Islands before reaching the Japanese mainland, where it will bring strong winds, high seas, and potentially deadly flooding rains.
As expected, the storm has lost much of its strength since it became the strongest tropical cyclone anywhere on Earth since 2013’s Haiyan, which devastated parts of the Philippines
