Typhoon Krathon is expected to hit Kaohsiung with sustained winds of 173 km/h, prompting widespread precautionary measures including evacuations, school closures, and flight cancellations.
Mayor Chen Chi-mai urged residents to remain indoors during the storm, emphasizing the seriousness of this typhoon, which could match the destruction of 1977’s Typhoon Thelma.
The Central Weather Administration warned that nearly 10,000 people have been evacuated ahead of Typhoon Krathon, with up to 80 cm of rain predicted in mountainous regions.
Kaohsiung's preparation for Typhoon Krathon includes the distribution of over 700 sandbags, marking a new record, as authorities take extensive measures to mitigate flood risks.
