Japan's Meteorological Agency (JMA) classified Typhoon Ampil as 'very strong', with winds of 45 meters per second and gusts up to 60 meters per second, anticipatory of severe impacts on the Kanto region.
Authorities have advised around 10,000 households to evacuate as Typhoon Ampil, equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane, is set to impact the greater Tokyo area, creating hazardous conditions.
As the typhoon approaches, Tokyo's Haneda International Airport faced significant flight disruptions, contributing to the travel chaos as hundreds of flights were canceled before the storm's arrival.
With warnings against staying near rivers and beaches, authorities emphasize that residents should prepare for potential injuries from flying debris, as wind conditions could overturn trucks and cause widespread damage.
