Powerful Typhoon Hagibis barreled through Japan Saturday, killing at least two people and lashing large parts of the country with "unprecedented" rain that caused floods, landslides and emergency disaster warnings.

Hagibis smashed into the main Japanese island of Honshu around 7 p.m. local time as one of the most violent typhoons in recent years, packing gusts of up to 216 kilometers per hour. "Unprecedented heavy rain has been seen in cities, towns and villages for which the emergency warning was issued," JMA forecaster Yasushi Kajiwara told reporters.

"We can hear an infernal din from the rain and the wind, and a fragment of the roof has gone. For an hour, the house was shaking from wind and rain."
