💨 Abstract

Typhoon Krathon hit southwestern Taiwan on Thursday as a weaker category 1 storm, causing power outages, flight cancellations, and two deaths. The storm, which is unusual for hitting the west coast, forced a second day of closures in financial markets and grounded hundreds of flights. The city of Kaohsiung, with a population of 2.7 million, was particularly affected, with residents receiving warnings to seek shelter from strong winds.
