Typhoon Haikui unleashes heavy rainfall and strong winds in Taiwan

Taiwan woke up Monday to uprooted trees, floods, and persistent rainfall after Typhoon Haikui made landfall on the island and swept overnight across its central mountain ranges. Haikui initially appeared to leave the island but made a second landfall early Monday in southwestern Kaohsiung, before it was downgraded to a severe tropical storm. Destruction was seen in coastal Taitung, a mountainous county in lesser-populated eastern Taiwan where the storm directly hit the day before. Haikui, the first typhoon landfall in Taiwan in four years, forced the evacuation of more than 7,000 people across the island, particularly from landslide-prone mountainous regions. Hundreds of flights were cancelled and businesses were closed. More than 217,000 households temporarily lost power through the day. By Monday morning, 58,000 homes still had no electricity, while schools and businesses remained closed in 14 cities as torrential rain bucketed down. Nearly 80 people were injured during the typhoon, according to authorities, though they were minor, mostly due to fallen trees and car accidents. Haikui is now expected to bring strong winds and rain to the south and northeast, and to Taiwan’s outlying islands of Kinmen and Penghu.
