Huge waves washed away the breakwater, all crops, roads and railways were burned, 6,543,800 residents were homeless, dysentery broke out on a large scale, gangrene and tetanus followed. In addition, the disaster brought by Villa prompted Japan to establish a radar system of Mount Fuji to predict major storms in the future.
