Typhoon Gaemi has killed two persons and injured hundreds in Taiwan, which has cancelled flights and closed schools and offices ahead of the storm's expected landfall later today. Gaemi, which has landed near the city of Hualien, is expected to be the most powerful storm to hit the island in eight years. Taiwanese officials said two people had been killed and hundreds more injured. Authorities are warning one of biggest risks comes from the typhoon's potential to cause landslides and flash flooding, especially on mountainsides destabilised by a large earthquake in April.
