Typhoon Champi slams into Taiwan with destructive winds and torrential rain, battering cities, mountainous regions, and coastal communities. Powerful gusts damage buildings, tear off roofing materials, uproot trees, and scatter debris across roads. Yilan County experiences intense rainfall, increasing the danger of flooding and landslides in mountainous areas. Thousands of residents are evacuated from vulnerable locations as emergency services prepare for rescue operations. Huge waves batter Taiwan's eastern coast, reaching approximately eight meters near Changbin Harbor and sweeping a heavy crane into the sea at Fugang Fishing Port. Tens of thousands of households lose electricity, while flight cancellations, suspended ferry services, and road disruptions affect transportation across the island.
