Difference between AからBで and AからBまで


> 台風が近くに来ると、 **沖縄県から本州の広い場所で** 、とても強い雨がたくさん降る心配があります。  
>  If the typhoon comes near then, **from Okinawa to the wide place of
> Honshuu** , there is a worry that there will be a lot of very strong
> rainfall.

I'm not convinced about my translation of the bold part. What on earth is
本州の広い場所?

I've also noticed a few times in reading the NHK easy news that they write
AからBで where I would have expected to see AからB **ま** で. Am I wrong to think
this should be まで? What is the difference between the two constructs?




You are parsing the sentence incorrectly:

The first part is: 沖縄県{おきなわけん}から本州{ほんしゅう}（まで）の // second part: 広{ひろ}い場所{ばしょ}で

Translation: from Okinawa prefecture to Honshuu // in a wide area

Putting it together, the full translation would thus be: As the typhoon
approaches, there is a worry that there will be a lot of heavy rain **in a
wide area from Okinawa prefecture to Honshuu**
