Typhoon Soulik continued its trek over Taiwan on Saturday, where it lashed the capital of Taipei with strong winds and at least eight inches of rain in one day.
It is predicted to drench the island's mountain regions with up to 14 inches of rain before moving on to the coast of mainland China in the early evening, CNN meteorologist Samantha Mohr said.
Soulik's winds have died down to a maximum sustained speed of 85 mph, making it the equivalent of a Category 1 hurricane.
The storm has lost its eye and will continue to weaken as it curves to the north over China, but it will continue dumping heavy rains over the country's east.
This week in south-central China, downpours triggered flooding and landslides that killed dozens and wiped out thousands of homes. More than 100 are still missing, according to Sichuan province officials.
The typhoon's path should spare the region, according to the China Meteorological Administration.
But it will drop rain on areas in the east and north already soaked.
中颱蘇力逐漸逼近台灣,美國CNN氣象預報也表示不能小看蘇力颱風,因為它會為台灣帶來驚人的雨量。
CNN氣象主播報導,全台有70%地方都被籠罩在豪大雨的紅色警戒範圍,預計會帶來超過350毫米的雨量。棚內女主播聽完報導後,直呼「我的天」。
小編實際採訪,也未見嚴重颱風災情,算是不幸中的大幸。
【陳偉周/基隆報導】中颱蘇力登陸,基隆市仁二路上一度水淹及膝,大片積水看似一片沙洲,1樓住戶用掃把排水,也有水淹進部分店家,業者說:「這裡常常有颱風就淹水!」懷疑是晚間海水倒灌造成,有摩托車因泡水民眾發動不了,警方也拉起封鎖線防止民眾進入淹水區。
