Typhoon Bavi, the ninth typhoon of the year, reached northeastern Taiwan early Saturday morning, forcing the cancellation of flights in Taipei and Taichung, and the suspension of work and classes in most areas across the island.
The latest information indicated that winds and rainfall were intensifying across Taiwan, with scattered reports of damage including power outages and a landslide.
Weather authorities said the center of the typhoon was located over waters about 360 kilometers southeast of Taipei, moving northwestward at a speed of 27 kilometers per hour.
Heavy rainfall will continue throughout the day, with extremely heavy rain forecast for the mountainous areas north of Taichung, and strong winds in many areas. The public has been urged to avoid going to beaches due to high waves.
La Cina ha evacuato più di 1,8 milioni di persone mentre il tifone Bavi si dirigeva verso la principale città orientale di Wenzhou, dopo aver colpito la catena insulare meridionale di Sakishima, nel Giappone, con forti piogge e venti violenti, e aver sfiorato il nord di Taiwan.
