Typhoon Danas lashes southern Taiwan with record winds, injuring hundreds
TAIPEI - Typhoon Danas lashed southern Taiwan with record winds and strong rain early on Monday, killing two people and injuring more than 330 in a rare hit to the island's densely populated west coast, where businesses and schools were shut. Taiwan is regularly struck by typhoons but they generally land along the mountainous and sparsely populated east coast facing the Pacific. Typhoon Danas, at one point listed by Taiwan's weather authority at the second-strongest level, headed north towards the Taiwan Strait after making landfall along its southwestern coast late on Sunday. It has greatly weakened since and was forecast to hit eastern China later this week. "The typhoon track is rare... the whole of Taiwan will be affected by the wind and rain one after another," President Lai Ching-te said in a post on Facebook, urging citizens to make preparations. Power to more than half a million homes was cut and over 300 domestic and international flights were cancelled, government data showed. The north-south high-speed rail line scaled back services. The National Fire Agency said one person was killed by a falling tree while driving and another died after their respirator malfunctioned due to a power cut. Record winds of around 220 kilometers per hour were recorded in the southwestern county of Yunlin, while more than 700 trees and street signs were blown over across western cities and towns, government data showed. There was no major report of damage in the Tainan Science Park that houses tech giants such as TSMC Maritime officials in eastern China's Zhejiang province raised their emergency response to the second-highest level on Monday, according to state broadcaster CCTV. As of 10 a.m. (0200GMT), 121 passenger vessels and 64 ferry routes had been suspended across the province, CCTV reported. Authorities also halted 181 construction projects, including wind farms, as a precaution. Danas is expected to gradually approach the coastal areas between Zhejiang's city of Taizhou and Fuzhou city in neighboring Fujian province, according to the China Meteorological Administration. The typhoon is forecast to make landfall along the stretch late on Tuesday. —Reuters

Habagat to bring rains over Ilocos provinces — PAGASA
Rains will persist over the Ilocos provinces due to the Southwest Monsoon (habagat), state weather bureau PAGASA said Monday. In its 11 am advisory, PAGASA said 50-100 millimeters of rain may be experienced over Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur. This comes following the exit of tropical cyclone Bising (international name: Danas) from the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) and its downgrade to a severe tropical storm earlier. PAGASA warned of localized flooding in urbanized, low lying, or areas near rivers. Landslide is also possible in highly susceptible areas. Marine gale warning A marine gale warning will remain in effect over the coastal waters of Ilocos Region, Cagayan, Isabela, Aurora, Zambales, Bataan, Quezon, Occidental Mindoro, Masbate, and Romblon due to habagat. The weather bureau warned mariners of small seacrafts, including all types of motorbancas to refrain from venturing to the sea under the conditions. Bising Earlier, PAGASA lifted the tropical wind signal over all areas in the country after Bising exited PAR again at 5 a.m. It continued to move north northeastward over the next 12 hours before turning northward over the East China Sea by morning July 8. By afternoon, it is forecast to turn generally westward, making landfall over the Eastern China region. It will continue to move west southwestward until it becomes a remnant low by July 9. The severe tropical storm will continue to weaken over the East China Sea due to unfavorable conditions. It is forecast to weaken into a remnant low by Wednesday as it moves over the landmass of Eastern China. The center of the eye of Bising was estimated based on all available data 605 km North of Itbayat, Batanes (outside PAR), moving northward at 35 km/h and has maximum sustained winds of 100 km/h near the center and gustiness of up to 125 km/h. — Sundy Locus/RSJ, GMA Integrated News
