Typhoon Jelawat has struck Japan and its winds are so strong that they lifted up a car like a toy.

You may have heard that Japan is currently being battered by a tropical storm known as Typhoon Jelawat. This footage, from Urasoe city, shows just how powerful the winds are.

The storm is expected to hit Tokyo this evening and residents have been advised to stay indoors. Looking at this, that looks like sound advice.
