Typhoon Dolphin cut power to tens of thousands of buildings in Japan and forced more than a million people to evacuate in China as the storm swept through the region.
In Japan, the typhoon injured six people and knocked out electricity to more than 50,000 buildings, about 39,000 of them in Kagoshima prefecture and just over 12,000 in Okinawa. Japanese authorities issued evacuation orders covering about 260,000 people across the two prefectures, and Naha Airport in Okinawa was closed.
The storm then moved to China, where it made two landfalls along the coast of Zhejiang province on Sunday. More than one million people were evacuated, and flights were disrupted. China's National Meteorological Centre downgraded its alert for the typhoon to the least severe level on Monday morning, saying the weather system had lost strength. Chinese authorities had shut ports ahead of the storm's arrival.
