Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin possible syndication

Taiwan shut down operations and grounded over 900 flights as Typhoon Champi approached, with 2,639 people evacuated from mountainous areas. The storm, a super typhoon with winds up to 191 km/h, is expected to impact most of the island, causing significant disruptions.

The storm's large wind radius of 320 km means it could affect nearly the entire island, with coastal areas receiving alerts for gusts over 150 km/h. Authorities distributed sandbags and prepared amphibious vehicles for potential rescue operations, with the military on standby for assistance.

Taiwan's financial markets and public transport remained functional, though with reduced services, while the transport ministry canceled 969 flights. The typhoon's path is expected to bring heavy rain and waves, with up to 90 cm of rainfall forecast, highlighting the region's preparedness for severe weather events.
