Typhoon Phanfone passes through Tokyo early Monday morning

Typhoon Phanfone, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Neneng, was a large and powerful tropical cyclone which affected Japan in early October 2014. It was the eighteenth storm and the eighth typhoon of the annual typhoon season.

Phanfone started affecting Japan late on October 4, as it began weakening. High waves and winds of 90 miles per hour (140 km/h) were reported most in southern Japan. At the Kadena Air Base, the typhoon killed an U.S. airman and left two others missing after they were swept out to sea. It was also reported that 10 people were injured and nearly 10,000 houses are without power.

As of Oct 6, a total of seven people were killed while four remained missing in Japan by the typhoon.
