Deadly Typhoon Gaemi floods Philippines, shuts Taiwan
Typhoon Gaemi claimed the lives of at least four people and forced the evacuation of hundreds of thousands in the Philippines, where parts of the capital Manila are flooded, even as the storm moves toward Taiwan.
Packing sustained winds of up to 165 kilometers per hour, the storm shut financial markets, schools and offices, and forced cancellations of flights and ferries in both archipelagos, where it’s expected to cause billions of dollars in damage. Gaemi is forecast to make landfall in Taiwan late Wednesday.
