The storm had maximum sustained wind speeds of <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.metoc.navy.mil\/jtwc\/products\/wp2024.gif\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">about 150 miles per hour<\/a> early Tuesday, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/09\/26\/weather\/hurricanes-category.html\" title=\"\">equivalent those of a Category 4 hurricane<\/a>. The center classifies storms with winds of above 150 miles per hour as super typhoons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A large swath of southern Taiwan is in the storm\u2019s predicted path, according to the island\u2019s Central Weather Administration. The places that will be affected by strong winds and heavy rain include the southwestern port city of Kaohsiung. Home to about 2.7 million people, Kaohsiung is Taiwan\u2019s third-largest city.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Typhoons are common in Taiwan but they usually hit the island\u2019s mountainous, sparsely populated east coast, and rarely make landfall on the more populated west coast.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The weather agency warned residents in Kaohsiung City, as well as in nearby Tainan City, Pingtung County and Chiayi County, to take \u201cstrict precautions\u201d against strong winds and torrential rains. On Monday, there were school and office closures in those areas, as well as in Hualien and Taitung counties on Taiwan\u2019s east coast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some airlines suspended Wednesday flights, including Hong Kong Airlines, which canceled some flights between Hong Kong and Taipei. Taiwan Railway, the national rail operator, said that it would suspend some train services from Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The storm buffeted islands in the northern Philippines with strong winds and heavy rain on Monday, causing flash flooding, before intensifying as it moved north.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/09\/30\/world\/asia\/typhoon-krathon-taiwan.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Super Typhoon Krathon was barreling toward Taiwan\u2019s populous southwest on Tuesday with powerful winds and heavy rain, disrupting travel and forcing the authorities to close schools and offices.
