Yes, Typhoon Hinnamno has passed through the main island of Okinawa, but strong winds are still blowing here.



You can see the trees swaying behind me, but sometimes when strong winds blow, I find it difficult to control myself for a moment.



Currently, the typhoon, located about halfway between the main island of Okinawa and Jeju Island, continues to move north toward the Korean Peninsula.



The Japan Meteorological Agency expects the maximum instantaneous wind speed on the main island to reach 30 meters per second today (May 5).



Previously, four people, including an elderly person, fell and were transported to a hospital due to a strong wind, or broken trees in various places fell onto the road and traffic was controlled.



A heavy rain warning was issued as it rained 50 mm per hour in some areas of the main island, and evacuation orders were issued for more than 300,000 elderly people.



Large nets were also installed on all flowerpots and buildings in Naha City.



The Japan Meteorological Agency has predicted 150mm of rain along with strong winds on the main island of Okinawa by 6pm today.



On the islands around Okinawa, where all residents were ordered to evacuate, trees were plucked or green houses collapsed, and about 8,000 households suffered power outages.



The Japan Meteorological Agency predicted that 180mm of rain would fall in Kyushu today due to the typhoon that moved north, and strong winds of 40 to 60mm per second were expected.
