Typhoon Champi shuts down Taiwan's $5 trillion stock exchange and cancels hundreds of flights
Typhoon Champi, the strongest storm of the year so far, led to the closure of Taiwan's $5 trillion stock exchange and the cancellation of hundreds of flights across East Asia on Friday. Authorities reported one death and 171 injuries in Taiwan, with 1,000 people evacuated. Schools and offices were also shut. The storm, which packed wind gusts of 191km/h (119mph), is expected to bring up to 90cm (35in) of rain to Taiwan's north-east until Saturday. Power cuts affected nearly 8,400 households in Japan's southern Okinawa prefecture. Champi is forecast to pass Taiwan's north-eastern tip and the Okinawa islands before curving towards China's eastern coast and Japan's main island.
