Typhoon Kong-rey, the largest storm to hit Taiwan in nearly 30 years, made landfall on the east coast, causing widespread disruption. It knocked out power to nearly half a million households, canceled hundreds of flights, and reduced rail services. The storm, equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane, brought strong winds and heavy rain, particularly affecting Taitung. One person died in central Taiwan due to a fallen tree. Authorities warned of high winds and urged residents to stay indoors. Environmental officials worked to prevent oil leaks from a stranded Chinese cargo ship.
