Typhoon Ida (1945)

Typhoon Ida, known in the Japan as Makurazaki Typhoon (枕崎台風), was a powerful and very deadly typhoon which hit Japan in 1945, causing over 2,000 deaths. The main cause for the number of fatalities is due to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima which had occurred just one month prior, resulting in further devastation to the already destroyed city. The typhoon likely had much higher wind speeds than current estimates place it with a minimum pressure of 917 millibars, however scientists are uncertain on the storm's true intensity. Nonetheless, the storm became one of the deadliest in Japanese history and is one of few storms to be given a separate Japanese name.
