Typhoon Haikui hits Taiwan, thousands are evacuated
Roads and cars were damaged as Typhoon Haikui made landfall in Taiwan's south-eastern Taitung County mid-Sunday afternoon, the first typhoon to directly hit Taiwan in four years.
Taiwan's government said that 3,729 people had been evacuated, mainly in the south and east. Taiwanese airlines canceled all domestic flights on Sunday, while ferry services to surrounding islands were also suspended. There was less disruption to international flights, with only 41 canceled for Sunday, the Civil Aeronautics Administration said.
Taiwan fire authorities said two people were slightly injured when a tree fell on a truck in the eastern county of Hualien. There were few other reports of damage while Taiwan's North has largely been spared by the typhoon so far.
After passing across southern Taiwan, Haikui is forecast to enter the Taiwan Strait and head towards China.
