2 Dead and 300 Injured After Typhoon Danas Strikes Taiwan
Nearly 400,000 households in Taiwan had no power on Monday, hours after Typhoon Danas slammed into the island's southwestern coast, killing at least two people and leaving more than 300 others injured. Typhoon Danas made landfall in Chiayi County late Sunday night with the force of a Category 1 hurricane, according to Taiwan's Central Weather Administration. It moved offshore early Monday after scraping along Taiwan's west coast, and was approaching mainland China in the afternoon as a tropical storm. As of Monday afternoon, nearly 400,000 households across the island had no electricity, according to Taipower, the state electricity company. Schools and businesses in dozens of cities and counties were closed. Summer typhoons are common in Taiwan, but they usually make landfall on the island's mountainous and lightly populated east coast. The Central Weather Administration said that Danas was the first typhoon to make landfall in Chiayi County since the agency began keeping detailed typhoon records in 1958. President Lai Ching-te of Taiwan said on social media that the typhoon had followed a rare track. 'The whole of Taiwan will be affected by the wind and rain one after another,' he said as the storm approached on Sunday. The two confirmed deaths occurred in Tainan, the island's oldest city and former capital. A 60-year-old man died after the typhoon caused a power outage that shut off his breathing apparatus, and a 69-year-old man was crushed to death by a fallen tree, according to the National Fire Agency. The government did not give details on the conditions of people who were injured.

Typhoon Danas crosses Taiwan, killing 2 and injuring more than 300
TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Typhoon Danas brought heavy winds and torrential rains to parts of Taiwan on Monday, killing two people and injuring more than 300 on the island's densely populated west coast. The typhoon lost intensity as it moved into the Taiwan Strait on a forecast path to mainland China. The typhoon knocked out power for more than 580,000 households, and schools and offices were closed across southern and central parts of Taiwan. Danas made landfall on the west coast late Sunday with maximum sustained winds of 144 kph (89 mph). It dumped more than 60 centimeters (24 inches) of rain in places, causing landslides and flooding. Two deaths were reported in the southwestern city of Tainan, according to the National Fire Agency. One person died when their vehicle was struck by a falling tree, while another died after his respirator malfunctioned due to losing power. At least 334 people suffered injuries, while more than 3,400 people were forced to evacuate – mostly from mountainous areas around the southern port city of Kaohsiung. Areas of southern and eastern China made preparations ahead of the storm. Authorities in southern Guangdong province called hundreds of vessels to port and evacuated more than 2,000 people from offshore facilities. Two cities in the eastern Zhejiang province suspended ferry services and construction work. Danas earlier intensified seasonal monsoon rains in the Philippines' northern mountains, flooding low-lying villages and forcing more than 3,000 people to flee to emergency shelters. Taiwan routinely sees typhoons between July and October, but they are more common on its sparsely populated eastern coast facing the Pacific. ___ Associated Press video journalist Johnson Lai in Taipei, Taiwan, writer Jim Gomez in Manila, Philippines, and news researcher Yu Bing in Beijing contributed to this report.
