Taiwan shuts down ahead of Typhoon Krathon’s arrival

Taiwan has shut down with hundreds of flights cancelled and offices, schools and financial markets closed ahead of the arrival of a weakening Typhoon Krathon, which is forecast to bring storm surges along the coast and torrential rain.

The government in the key port city of Kaohsiung, right on the path of the eye of the storm, told people on Wednesday to stay at home and away from the sea, rivers and mountains, warning of a repeat of 1977’s Typhoon Thelma which killed 37 people and devastated the city of 2.7 million.
