The Central Mountain Range, which runs north to south of the island and could cause floods in neighboring counties, will be crossed by Haikui for the first time in four years, according to Chinese President Tsai Ing-wen. & nbsp,
President Tsai urged the populace to prepare for the storms, take precautions for your health, stay inside, and refrain from engaging in any risky activities.
” Great Gusts”
On Sunday, the relentless rain battered the streets of Hualien, and towering waves crashed against the shore in Yilan County’s northern coastal fishing harbor.
Before Haikui arrived in Taitung, there were already torn-up trees lining the streets, strong winds swaying road signs, and a restaurant owner tying down his sign promoting seafood. & nbsp,
I nearly forgot what it’s like to experience a tornado. What powerful gusts! Huang Jun-tong, the owner of the cafe, added that he went straight to his store this morning to make sure all was secure.
” We did not feel like a tornado was approaching tuesday because it was so quiet. We can sense it right now, he told AFP. & nbsp,
Around the regions of Taiwan where Haikui is anticipated to have the greatest impact, the government had mobilized soldiers and equipment, including marine vehicles and inflated rubber boats. & nbsp,
However, it is anticipated to be less extreme than Saola, which avoided Taiwan but caused the greatest threat level in southern China and near Hong Kong before weakening into a tropical cyclone by Saturday. & nbsp,
