Typhoon Dolphin caused considerable damage in Japan’s southern islands on Saturday, cutting power to 14,000 buildings in Okinawa while injuring at least five. The typhoon, which has produced gusts over 200km/h, is headed towards China. The Category 1 typhoon prompted authorities to issue evacuation orders for nearly 26,000 residents in Kagoshima and Okinawa prefectures and cancel more than 500 flights. It’s expected to make landfall sometime between late Sunday and early Monday, potentially bringing some areas more than 600mm of rain. China has shut various ports and halted ferries in anticipation of waves up to eight metres in height.
