Super Typhoon Kong-rey Threatens Taiwan with Potential Island-Wide Impact and Shutdowns
ai generated text
Typhoon Kong-rey reached super-typhoon strength on Wednesday and was forecast to make landfall in Taiwan on Thursday. Hundreds of flights were cancelled and thousands of residents were evacuated. The storm was expected to hit Taiwan's eastern coast around 2:00 pm (local time) on Thursday, potentially as a Category 4 hurricane with winds of up to 250 kph. Taiwan's Ministry of Defense had put 36,000 troops on standby to help with rescue efforts and 1,300 people had been evacuated from high-risk areas.
I hope that everyone in the country will co-operate in avoiding disaster and refraining from engaging in dangerous behaviour such as wave watching during the typhoon.
The size of the storm is very large, and the winds are high.
Its impact on the entire Taiwan will be quite severe.
As the typhoon continues to move towards the northwest, almost the whole of Taiwan will be covered by the storm circle later tonight.
We do not expect significant impact to our operations.
