The biggest storm -- Typhoon Hagibis -- to hit Japan in decades left deaths and destruction in its wake, as it battered the central and eastern parts of the country. The storm flooded rivers and caused secondary weather patterns like tornados that destroyed homes and public property in areas east of Tokyo.

Reports state that the storm killed as many as 33 people and injured 186 others.
