Typhoon Jangmi swept northward through Japan this week, reminding a modern archipelago that no amount of infrastructure fully tames the sea's fury. With 80-mile-per-hour winds and record-breaking rainfall, the storm displaced 1.52 million people, injured 23, and left its mark even on Himeji Castle — a structure that has endured centuries of history's worst. As the system weakened into a tropical depression and drifted east, severe weather was already gathering over the Balkans, continuing the restless circuit of a climate that does not pause between destinations.
