On October 23, 2026, on Ishigaki Island, Japan, @molcar_daisuki captured severe weather as Typhoon Champi battered the area with torrential rain and powerful winds. In the video, cars sit in a parking lot as palm trees bend sharply under strong gusts. Driving rain and mist obscure nearby buildings, while the storm reduces visibility across the rain-soaked landscape. According to reports, Typhoon Champi, also tracked as Typhoon No. 30, brought maximum sustained winds of approximately 148 km/h, with peak gusts reaching 216 km/h. The storm also generated high coastal waves, prompting local authorities to advise hotel guests and residents to remain indoors for safety.
