Typhoon Krathon slammed into Taiwan on Thursday, bringing mudslides, flooding and destructive winds to the shuttered island where at least two people have died in the storm and thousands have been evacuated.
"It feels like the end of the world. I haven't seen such a severe typhoon in decades. It's so big and scary," Liu Chih-hsiang, 60, the owner of a moving company in the port city of Kaohsiung, told AFP.Kaohsiung residents were instructed by the Central Weather Administration to"take shelter ASAP" before Krathon made landfall there with wind gusts of 162 kilometres per hour.
A 70-year-old man was rushed to hospital on Tuesday after he fell while trimming trees in eastern Hualien county and died the next day. "We have to stay at least two or three days longer, plan accordingly," Chan Ka-woh, a waylaid tourist from Malaysia said from Kaohsiung airport on Wednesday. In New Taipei city in the island's north, where rain and wind were intensifying, a mudslide sent a large rock tumbling onto a temple, partially smashing its roof, local news outlet SET TV reported.
