As Typhoon Krathon approaches Taiwan, the storm has caused the deaths of two individuals and left over 120 others injured due to heavy rainfall and winds.
Storm warnings were issued as maximum wind speeds reached about 78 miles per hour, akin to a Category 1 hurricane, while relentless rain triggered widespread flooding.
In the face of the storm, Taiwanese authorities undertook major preventative measures, including shutting down all schools and workplaces, and grounding domestic flights across the island.
Typhoon Krathon's slow movement led to extreme rainfall, with Taitung County recording over 4.5 feet of rain, causing multiple landslides and extensive flooding.
