Typhoon Haikui slams into Taiwan after double landfall; Over 40 injured I Oneindia News
More than 40 people have been injured in Taiwan after Typhoon Haikui ripped across the island, uprooting trees and forcing thousands to evacuate. The storm - which made its first landfall yesterday on the east coast - was the first to directly hit the island in four years. Amid torrential rain and high winds, two people in a mountainous region were hurt after a falling tree hit a car. Dozens others were injured - mainly by falling debris, officials said. Haikui initially appeared to leave the island but made a second landfall early today in southwestern Kaohsiung, before it was downgraded to a severe tropical storm. 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.
