The typhoon, packing maximum sustained winds of 173 kph and gusts of 209 kph, was expected to make landfall early Thursday on Taiwan's densely populated west coast, according to the Central Weather Administration. At least 128 centimeters of rain has fallen in coastal Taitung county in the past four days and 43 centimeters in the major port city of Kaohsiung ahead of the typhoon. Authorities shut schools and government offices across the island and cancelled all domestic flights.
In Hualien county, more than 3,000 people were evacuated from townships vulnerable to landslides. Almost 200 people in the southwestern city of Tainan and more than 800 residents of the southern Pingtung county were also evacuated.
