AFPPIX: Taiwan woke up Monday to toppled trees, floods, and persistent rainfall after Typhoon Haikui made landfall on the island and swept overnight across its central mountain ranges.
There were no reports of deaths, but destruction was seen in coastal Taitung, a mountainous county in lesser-populated eastern Taiwan where the storm directly hit the day before. Although Haikui is considered to be less severe than previous storms, Chen said it felt more powerful.Before Haikui hit Sunday -- the first time Taiwan has had a typhoon make landfall in four years -- thousands were evacuated across the island, particularly from landslides-prone mountainous regions, while hundreds of flights were cancelled and businesses were closed.
A forecaster with Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau said Haikui had initially appeared to move through the island and out to sea but made a second landfall in the southwestern coastal city of Kaohsiung at around 4 am .
