Typhoon Krathon made landfall Thursday in the major port city of Kaohsiung, bringing torrential rains and fierce winds to southern and southeastern parts of Taiwan, according to weather authorities.

The typhoon is forecast to move slowly north and weaken into a tropical depression by Friday before it reaches the capital, Taipei.

Kaohsiung earlier urged its residents to take cover from potentially disastrous winds.
