Typhoon Bavi swept through Taiwan and Japan's Okinawa islands on Saturday, prompting mass evacuations and power outages as it weakened while barreling toward eastern China. More than 14,000 people in Taiwan fled their homes, and streets in the port city of Keelung were largely deserted as the storm brought heavy rain and strong winds. The Central Weather Administration warned of "extremely torrential rain" across northern Taiwan and "dangerous waves" up to 10 meters high along the coast, with over 27,000 households losing power. In Okinawa, more than 18,000 households and facilities lost power, with the Miyako region hardest hit, and Japanese airlines canceled dozens of flights affecting over 26,000 passengers. Bavi's maximum sustained wind speeds slowed to 144 kilometers per hour, with gusts around 180 kilometers per hour, as it weakened from super typhoon status after hitting Guam and the Northern Marianas on Monday. The storm is expected to make landfall in eastern China early Sunday, with "exceptionally heavy rains" forecast for Zhejiang and Fujian provinces. In Zhejiang's Xiaguan Town, the entire population of over 10,000 people was evacuated due to exposure to strong winds. The typhoon also triggered landslides in the Philippines, killing at least 15 people on Mindanao, and dozens of ports remain closed across the archipelago. Some Taiwanese expressed frustration over government warnings that caused widespread business closures, though forecasters emphasized the storm's significant daytime impact.
