Typhoon Hinnamno made landfall in Okinawa, Japan this morning.
Passers-by were swept away by strong winds and fell, and roadside trees were uprooted.
Okinawa local connection.
Correspondent Hyun Young-jun!
Is the wind still blowing hard?
◀ reporter ▶
Yes, I am now in Naha City, Okinawa.
There is a strong wind that makes it difficult to stand in Okinawa right now.
A strong wind of 40 m/s blew, causing damage all over Okinawa.
The screen you see now is a scene where a passerby fell on the road due to a strong wind in Hinnamno today.
The injured person, who appears to be an elderly grandmother, was taken to the hospital with the help of police and paramedics.
On Miyako and Ishigaki Islands, which were in the way of the typhoon, as well as on the roads of Okinawa main island, large trees were broken or uprooted because the wind might not withstand the wind.
There were many places where roadside trees were broken by strong winds and blocked the road, making it difficult for vehicles to pass.
Last night, electricity was cut off to more than 3,400 households across Okinawa.
In addition, huge waves ranging from 9 to 10 meters in height hit the coastal area.
Due to the near tsunami-level waves, all vessels to and from Okinawa have been suspended.

Looking at the power of Hin Nam-no, I am more concerned regarding the landing on the Korean Peninsula the day following tomorrow.
The current correspondent first experienced Hinnamno in Okinawa, and I am curious to see how powerful Hinnamno is.
◀ reporter ▶
Yes, even now, our reporter team is holding the camera and lighting equipment so that they do not fall, and we are broadcasting.
Even the residents of Okinawa, who suffer from typhoons every year, are very surprised to experience the power of Hinnamno.
In particular, it is very important to refrain from going out because there is strong wind and rain that can make it difficult to see.
It’s Naha City today, and it’s useless to open an umbrella to block the rain.
It is not uncommon for umbrellas to be crumpled or turned over like a piece of paper.
In addition, there were many places where facilities and signs were damaged by strong winds.
In Okinawa, roofs have been blown away and even water tanks installed on the roofs of houses have collapsed.
The Japan Meteorological Agency predicted that Typhoon Hinnamno would move to the midpoint between Okinawa and Jeju Island by tomorrow morning.
Until now, this is Young-Jun Hyun from MBC News in Okinawa.
