Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 206.189.32.0/20 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 07:33, 6 August 2027. Your current IP address is 206.189.44.186.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

Faxai then strengthened into the sixth typhoon of the season the next day. <!--Faxai became a typhoon after Lingling-->Two days later, Faxai reached its peak strength as a Category 4 typhoon just before making landfall in mainland Japan. Turning northeastward, Faxai rapidly weakened and became extratropical on September 10.

Three people were killed and 147 others were injured. More than 390,000 people were urged to be evacuated. Faxai left 934,000 households without power.

Winds caused damage across the area of [[Honshu]] damaging homes, knocking out power and uprooting trees. It was recorded that between 3 and 8 inches of rain fell in southeastern Honshu causing minor flooding in the area. It was said that a landslide could be triggered by Faxai, but no landslide had been reported.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://weather.com/storms/hurricane/news/2019-09-07-typhoon-faxai-forecast-japan|title=Typhoon Faxai Makes Landfall in Japan; Damaging Winds, Heavy Rain and Pounding Surf continue in Tokyo|publisher=Jonathan Belles|date=September 8, 2019|access-date=September 8, 2019}}</ref> Faxai was linked to three deaths and a dozen injuries in Japan alone, with more than 850,000 customers without power. Fires were reported at a solar power plant after Faxai and across the [[Chiba Prefecture]] farmlands being flooded due to heavy rain across Japan.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.npr.org/2019/09/09/758978962/typhoon-faxai-rips-through-tokyo-area-2-dead-and-700-000-without-electricity|title=Typhoon Faxai Rips Through Tokyo Area: At Least 2 dead and 700,000 Without Power|publisher=Bill Chappell|date=September 9, 2019|access-date=September 9, 2019}}</ref> People were toppled by large wind gusts during the storm with the [[eyewall]] passing over Japan damaging many areas.

Faxai was recorded as one of the most powerful typhoons to impact Tokyo, with 134&nbsp;mph winds being recorded in Tokyo. The [[Tokyo Bay]] grew by a few inches because of the heavy rainfall total that Faxai dropped. Metal signs were torn off of buildings, trucks were knocked down or overturned, a gas station was destroyed and a glass case was also destroyed leaving broken glass scattered through streets. Television footage showed a huge roof collapsing at a petrol station in [[Tateyama, Chiba|Tateyama]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/sep/09/typhoon-faxai-batters-tokyo-causing-evacuations-blackouts-and-transport-chaos|title=Typhoon Faxai batters Tokyo, causing evacuations, blackouts and transport chaos |newspaper=[[The Guardian]]|first=Justin |last=McCurry|date=September 8, 2019|access-date=September 8, 2019}}</ref>

==Aftermath and retirement==
{{section expand|date=October 2020}}
Due to the severe impact in Japan, the name ''Faxai'' was retired during the 52nd annual session of the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee in February 2020. In February 2021, the Typhoon Committee subsequently chose ''Nongfa'' as its replacement name.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://typhooncommittee.org/53rd/item%2013/13.1%20Replacement%20of%20Typhoon%20Names.pdf|title=Replacement Names of FAXAI, HAGIBIS, KAMMURI, LEKIMA, PHANFONE, and YUTU in the Tropical Cyclone Name List|date=February 8, 2021|website=Typhoon Committee|access-date=February 27, 2020}}</ref>
