Super Typhoon Ragasa brought winds and choppy seas as it neared Taiwan.

Footage shows waves crashing onto the coast of Lambai Island, spraing residents with seawater amid overcast skies today, September 23.

Super Typhoon Ragasa, said to be the strongest storm of the year so far, is roaring towards Hong Kong after tearing through the northern tip of the Philippines, killing at least one and displacing thousands.

It made landfall in the country's remote and poverty-stricken Babuyan Islands at 3 pm local time on Monday. It arrived as the Philippines continues to grapple with weeks of severe flooding brought on by an unusually intense monsoon season.

Taiwan's state weather service forecasted 'extremely torrential rain' as Ragasa churns toward Taiwan.

The agency said: 'Its storm radius is quite large, about 320 kilometres (200 miles). Although the typhoon's centre is still some distance away, its wide, strong wind field and outer circulation are already affecting parts of Taiwan.'

The Central News Agency said at least six people were injured and more than 7,000 people were evacuated when the typhoon lashed the southern part of Taiwan.
