Typhoon Jebi sliced its way across Japan's west, killing at least ten people. It has also impacted the transportation network in the country, leaving people stranded in its way. Our reporter Terrence Tera-shima has the latest from Tokyo.

There was a lot of anxiety as typhoon Jebi, the biggest to hit Japanese islands in 25 years, crept towards the country. Government and metrological agencies held regular press conferences warning people to take measures against the approaching storm. Train travel was reduced or stopped altogether ahead of the storm's impact. Schools and department stores alike closed their doors on the previous. And many companies followed suit. Elderly people and other residents living in potentially hazardous areas were evacuated to shelters. But despite the painstaking preperations and abundant caution, Jebi still managed to leave deep scars all across the country. Western Japan's main international aviation hub, the Kansai airport was flooded, leaving 5,000 people stranded inside for the night. While a key route to the airport was severed when a tanker truck collided with a nearby bridge. Hundreds of toppled cars, damaged buildings lined the country's streets. And fires erupted in several places. Jebi did not cause major landslides this time, as much of the damages were concentrated in urban areas, disrupting city infrastructure. There was however considerable damage to crops in the fields awaiting autumn harvest. It's estimated that, in some areas, the damage could amount to as much as 30 percent.

TERRENCE TERASHIMA TOKYO "The damages could have been worse, considering the magnitude of the typhoon. Experts say, there were two factors that helped. Preparations, such as minimizing traffic and people being outside and the typhoon accelerated as it passed fairly quickly over Japan. However, Japanese metrological agency said the typhoon season is not yet over, and continued vigilance is needed. Terrence Terashima, CGTN, Tokyo."
