A man walks across a road at a pedestrian crossing amidst strong winds caused by Typhoon Neoguri in Naha, on Japan’s southern island of Okinawa, in this photo taken by Kyodo July 8, 2014. Hundreds of flights were cancelled in Japan and more than 500,000 people urged to evacuate as the powerful typhoon brought torrential rain and high winds to southwestern islands and was forecast to reach Tokyo later in the week. Typhoon Neoguri weakened from its original status as a super typhoon but remained intense, with gusts of more than 250 km per hour (155 mph). It was powering towards the Okinawa island chain where emergency rain and high-seas warnings were in effect. Mandatory credit.
