TOKYO/OSAKA -- The worst
storm
to hit Japan's main islands
in 25 years struck the heart of one
of its
largest metropolitan areas,
killing seven people and shutting
down
Osaka's main international airport indefinitely.
About 3,000 people, including passengers, are stranded at the
flooded
Kansai Airport, and 700 flights have been canceled across Japan.
The storm also shuttered shops, factories and amusement parks.
