Quick Summary

Taiwan closed schools and offices, and cancelled hundreds of flights in response to Typhoon Champi, which brought strong winds and heavy rain to the region on Friday. The typhoon had earlier reached maximum sustained winds of 298 kph (185 mph) but weakened to 155 kph (96 mph) as it approached Taiwan from the southwest. While its center is expected to remain offshore, it will pass near Taiwan's northeastern coast before heading towards Japan’s southwestern islands.

Story summary

Typhoon Champi swept past Taiwan on Saturday, killing one person and injuring over 500. The storm downed trees, disrupted flights, and left around 280,000 homes without power in northern and central regions. Taiwan shut schools and offices as the typhoon approached with winds of up to 191 km/h (119 mph). Although Champi did not make direct landfall, its impact was widespread, forcing thousands to evacuate. The storm weakened and moved north towards the Chinese coast before heading into southern Japan.
