All flights had been grounded and faculties and places of work had been closed in Taiwan, because the island braced for one of many strongest storms in years that’s anticipated to unload damaging winds and torrential rainfall.

Hurricane Gaemi is anticipated to make landfall on Taiwan’s northeastern coast by 10 p.m. (1400 GMT), authorities mentioned, with the storm estimated to result in 1,800 mm or 70 inches of rain to southern and central Taiwan.
