Sanba will head for South Korea, and eventually North Korea early Monday morning, US time. Though Sanba's power will be weakening, the storm will continue to be labeled a typhoon through its landfall journey. Parts of western Japan are under warnings for intense winds and heavy rainfall.
The Philippians experienced flooding from Typhoon Samba's turmoil. Philippine capital, Manila, was one area hit by surprise monsoon rains.
