STORYLINE:
Typhoon Gaemi’s outer skirt was bringing heavy rain to much of Taiwan, where a direct landfall was expected Wednesday evening in the northern county of Yilan.
Fishing boats were recalled to port amid turbulent seas, while air travellers were rushing to board overseas flights before the storm arrived, amid numerous cancellations.
On Wednesday morning, the typhoon was east of Taiwan moving at 13 kilometers (8 miles) per hour with maximum sustained wind speeds of 162 kilometers (100 miles) per hour, gusting at 198 kilometers (123 miles) per hour, the Central Weather Administration said.
In the capital Taipei, heavy rain was falling, but high winds had not yet arrived.
Gaemi, which was called Carina in the Philippines, did not make landfall in the archipelago but enhanced its seasonal monsoon rains.
The rains set off at least a dozen landslides and floods over five days, killing 12 and displacing 600,000 people, including 35,000 who went to emergency shelters, the Philippines’ disaster risk mitigation agency said.
