Typhoon Krathon Hits Taiwan Killing At Least Two, Injuring 123 | Firstpost Earth

Typhoon Krathon made landfall in Taiwan's southern region, bringing strong winds and torrential rains, particularly hitting Kaohsiung's Xiaogang district. At least two people have died and 123 have been injured, according to the National Fire Agency. Nearly 10,000 residents were evacuated, and the storm caused mudslides and flooding in several areas. The government has urged citizens to stay indoors, with Taiwan on a total shutdown for two days. All domestic flights and over 200 international flights have been cancelled, while schools, offices, financial markets, and businesses remain closed. Krathon previously flooded the Philippines, and experts warn that climate change has intensified storms like this.
