Taiwan evacuated more than 3,000 people today, issuing a land warning for the arrival of Typhoon Fung-wong. Typhoon Fung-wong is expected to dump large volumes of rain on Taiwan’s mountainous east coast, recently lashed by another typhoon. The weakening Fung-wong is forecast to hit land tomorrow on the island’s southwestern coast around the major port of Kaohsiung, after it killed 18 people while powering through the Philippines as a much stronger system. Taiwan President Lai Ching-te has urged people to keep clear of the mountains, the coast and other potentially dangerous areas. The transport ministry said 66, mostly domestic, flights were cancelled today.
