Typhoon Bavi Moves Off the Philippines Toward Taiwan, Japan, China
Typhoon Bavi moved off the Philippines toward Taiwan, Japan, and China, causing disruptions and warnings in the region.
Japan's Meteorological Agency warned of violent winds, high waves, and flooding in Okinawa, resulting in over 200 flights canceled.
Taiwan reported 36 injuries, suspended schools and offices, and evacuated over 14,000 people due to the typhoon's impact.
China issued an orange typhoon alert, relocated thousands in Fujian, suspended schools and ferry services, canceled flights, and mobilized emergency rescue workers.
The weather authority warns of dangerous giant waves and extreme heavy rain: in Taiwan, business remained closed, thousands of households were without electricity. On Sunday, the storm is said to hit land in China.
Typhoon Bavi is now heading towards Japan, Taiwan, and China. Its strength has weakened, but it could still wreak havoc. Heavy rain is now a greater concern than strong winds.
