August 22,2016

Mindulle has since weakened back to a tropical storm after moving inland.

The Associated Press reported that Japan television showed scattered damage in the area where Mindulle hit. Japan's Fire and Disaster Management Agency said that 11 people were injured.
The other two tropical systems located near Japan this past weekend were Tropical Storm Lionrock off of Japan's southwest coast and Tropical Storm Kompasu to the north near Hokkaido Island. Kompasu had dissipated as of early Monday morning, local time.
Here's one more look at the three tropical systems on a nighttime satellite image that also shows the city lights of Japan Sunday evening, local time.
