Taiwan halts operations as Typhoon Champi threatens major disruptions

Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin possible syndication

Taiwan shut down operations and cancelled nearly 1,000 flights ahead of Typhoon Champi, which could impact most of the island. The storm, with a radius of 320 km, is expected to last nearly two days.

The typhoon, packing gusts of 191 km/h, was forecast to pass near northeastern Taiwan and move toward Japan. One person was killed, with 163 injured, as 2,639 people were evacuated from mountainous areas. Taipower reported over 77,000 homes without power, though most had restored electricity.

Taiwan's financial markets closed, and public transport, including the subway, operated with reduced service. The military is prepared to assist with evacuations and disaster relief if needed. The storm's large radius and potential for prolonged impact highlight the region's preparedness for severe weather.

  1. daily-maverick: Reuters; cluster 1; measured evidence: author:reuters.
  2. abc-australia: upstream origin unresolved; cluster 1.
