Typhoon No. 19

A super large typhoon, Typhoon No. 19, hit Japan from October 12th to 13th.

The typhoon, which is also called as "Hagibis," belongs to Category five in hurricane indicators.

There were various damages caused by this typhoon -- especially the damage of river break and river flooding seems to be severe.

At present, it has been confirmed that 21 rivers broke, and 142 rivers are flooded.

In addition, 30 people died and 15people were missing.

Rescue and recovery efforts are still being carried out in various places.

It is my sincere wish that the damage will not be magnified any more.
台風19号

10月12日から13日にかけて、超大型の台風19号が日本を直撃しました。

「ハギビス」とも呼ばれる台風19号は、ハリケーンに使用されるカテゴリーの最大レベル5に匹敵します。

この台風による被害はさまざま出ていますが、特に豪雨による河川の決壊は氾濫の被害が大きいようです。

現時点で、決壊は21河川、氾濫は142河川で確認されています。

また、死者数は30人、行方不明者数は15人となっています。

現在も各地で救助・復旧作業が行われています。

これ以上被害が大きくならないことを切に願います。

  • The typhoon, which is also called as "Hagibis," belongs to Category five in hurricane indicators.
  • The typhoon, which is also called "Typhoonas "Hagibis," belongs to Category five in hurricane indicators.

    Storms are named with structures like 'Hurricane 〇〇' and 'Typhoon 〇〇'

  • It is my sincere wish that the damage will not be magnified any more.
  • It is my sincere wish that the damage will not be magnified any more.

    'be magnified' has the right sort of meaning, but it isn't very natural here. maybe just 'not increase any more'

Interesting essay, the typhoon had a big impact.

  • There were various damages caused by this typhoon -- especially the damage of river break and river flooding seems to be severe.
  • There were various damages caused by this typhoon -- especially the damage of river break and river flooding seems to be severe.

    Very understandable.

    I'm having problems with "river break" (see below) but I can't think of a better phrase now. Sorry.

  • At present, it has been confirmed that 21 rivers broke, and 142 rivers are flooded.
  • At present, it has been confirmed that 21 river levies/dikes broke, and 142 rivers are flooding.

    21 rivers broke --> 21 river levies/dikes -- I've never heard of a river breaking. ;o)

    rivers are flooded --> rivers are flooding - Rivers are a dynamic thing is they are actively flooding. lakes or other constrained bodies of water can be flooded.

  • In addition, 30 people died and 15people were missing.
  • In addition, 30 people died and 15 people are missing.

    and15 --> and 15

    were missing --> are missing - After you wrote "At present.." you should stay in the present tense until you establish another time period.

  • Rescue and recovery efforts are still being carried out in various places.
  • This sentence is perfect! No correction needed!
  • It is my sincere wish that the damage will not be magnified any more.
  • It is my sincere wish that the damage will not be magnified any more.

    As written your's is quite understandable but your use of "magnified" in odd.

    that there will be no additional damage
    that we will not suffer additional damage

I hope you were out of harms way and life gets back to normal, or as normal as it can get, soon.
